Unfortunately the author I feel might need to actually interact with the mentally ill more.
A. With respecting choice, healthcare workers are understanding that they can't help everyone. You can't fix their problems for them but you can aid and assist them with them. This is also just happens to be part of the social work profession itself as I understand it.
B. People aren't their illness. In my limitted experiene knowing people with schizophrenia is that's it's one of the worst and saddest illnesses out there. Fundamently they are aware they can't trust their own brain all the time (without medication and management). We don't do enough societally to protect and help the most vulnerable.
