The discrimination and prejudice against people who are born with or develop illnesses of the brain needs to stop. 

People who have developed dementia or Alzheimer's Disease are not usually disenfranchised, marginalized, vilified, denigrated, mocked, disparaged and horribly portrayed because of their brain illnesses and mental health challenges. 

Why then is it OK to disenfranchise, marginalize, vilify, denigrate, make fun of, mock, disparage and horribly portray people who have other types of brain illnesses and mental health challenges.
