Mental Illness ...Step away from the dark ages about mental health.


Step away from the dark ages about mental health.

People need to get out of the dark ages about this subject.. stop treating it as a shameful disease... to be hidden, not talked about ... there are many you might know..that suffer in quiet because of the reaction they get from others... this thinking has to stop.

In the olden days… people were kept in a room for no one to see.. never seeing out side during their whole entire adult life.  Some even starting younger and being set away, never to be talked about again.
Even the Kennedy’s who went on to be a champion for mental health…  had one of their sisters  institutionalized  and electric shocks done to her.. eventually being mindless by their father.. Who did not understand mental health.  And was afraid of her embarrassing her family.

Now days, depression is everywhere.. in your family, on the news… even movie stars. Especially those in the lime light, who have chosen suicide , as brought light to the disease.

It takes a LOT of PATIENCES… to understand.. or try to understand… as it is not easy to understand. You can feel helpless… we did when one of ours was going thru it for the 5th time in 20 years.. and finally took the final step ..suicide.  Leaving us heart broken, because we couldn’t fix it for her.
