Like when a paranoid schizophrenic kills someone, you'll see the educated view of how it works and how it could happen to anyone, and how jail is literally useless.
But anyone who isn't well versed in the illness will fall back on simple human nature - "I can't imagine how someone could kill someone without knowing they did it so therefore he shall be judged as a regular person without this so called paranoid schizophrenia, which makes him a despicable monster who should never see the light of day despite what any stupid doctor or health professional says".
It quickly turns into a need for justice and the facts get in the way of that human need so they are ignored/pushed away. Those who call suicide selfish are on the same wavelength. They can't accept it if they experience it before being properly educated and react accordingly and will rarely give into facts that counter what they believe (just like politics).
