I'm so sorry that this person is so close-minded about mental illness *safe hugs* it must be very stressful and agrivating to have to work with someone like that.
Hopefully the subject won't be brought up again, but if it does try not to get yourself upset ok? Her views are not the views of every person in the world, she probably doesn't understand very much about mental illness at all which is why she falls on the "they're all bonkers" thought pattern. It is easier to bunch everyone together under one bracket than see them as inderviduals with problems she doesn't understand.
I'm sorry I don't have much advice for what to say to this person about this situation. Please take care and not take her words to heart, there are a lot of kind people who understand mental illness in the world, and one of them is worth 200 of her.
