She answered, "When did you realize you weren't?" ....... That is the best response I have EVER heard!!! <br />I too saw the 60 Minutes interview. I'm writing about it tomorrow. And, anonymous, re: "mental illness is a treatable disease just like alcoholism, vd. gonorrhea" treatable, yes ... curable, no. And treatments, the best treatments, do not always work. On some people even when taken properly they just don't work. I have a 32 yr old daughter who so very badly wants to be "normal" and who has tried every drug, multiple combinations, been under multiple psychiatrists care for more than half her life and while she is better nothing has given her even one day when she didn't have to struggle.

I have a friend whose daughter has schizophrenia she used to not take her medicine, now she absolutely does, she lives with her mother my friend, she is totally disabled and not able to work, yet she volunteers at a public library and a animal shelter almost 5 days a week keeping busy, soon my friend will retire, I have no idea how the balance of her life will be, she is on some kind of ssdi benefit but could never live by herself..37 and counting, her mother has had many many heartbreaks with this daughter many family member hate her for all the time and money her mother has had to give up so she can just live and not a normal life at all, for the Love of God, mental illness is a treatable disease just like alcoholism, vd. gonorrhea why can't the health companies and public policy realize this, many suffer needlessly when what most people need is counseling some form of therapy and some help with non-toxic forms of a drug or two, not the kind that just drugs them up..why, in the greatest country in the world many are denied mental health treatment cause they are poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315622674616774363.post-34242565822629111062014-01-27T13:37:35.551-06:002014-01-27T13:37:35.551-06:00Wow, just wow!
