Unfortunately, a lot of them are negative. American culture often makes fun of the disorders (if not the people who have them) and a lot of times people with mental illnesses will not seek treatment because of this. People are afraid of them (they think they might "go crazy" and hurt them) or see them as freaks. People may also see those with mental illness as "weak" and think that they can "get over it" if they try hard enough.
