Advantages  would be knowing how to help them (friends, patient, stranger) whenever their being control be their disease. In some case their treatable and curable but just take time and patience. If the information is aware to public knowledge about these disorder and their symptoms we can make sure these patients are in a safe environment. The negative advantage would be not being able to help and treat them, also making fun of them and laughing at their disorder can cause serious damage on top of their mental pain. Ignoring them and shutting them out from society and an environment. They need love and happy surrounding keep them uplifted.

We are not fully aware so it can cause you to judge and be ignorant to a lot of things.
