And there is also that political element of those with more power labeling undesirables as "mentally ill". That happens a lot in many parts of the world and especially over history.
The families though usually know a lot more about the behavior of other family members unless hidden like with my brother-in-law Jim. He was quite careful about whom he said stuff to in many settings.

I personally believe that mental illness is more about the physical brain than the psych. I am NOTHING but convinced that much more research needs to be done on brain function. Many people who have been through similar trauma come out with entirely different outcomes simply because their brains are wired differently.
