> It is about a year ago that my 16 year old son had a breakdown that at first, none of us understood. We were not educated to the fact that Mental Illness can be hereditary and caused by chemical imbalances in the brain etc.
> After our Psy Dr. prescribed medication for my son, and later when we found the combination that worked then we began to see the complete picture. M.I. is real and from diagnosis, to treatment, to cure or stabilization is the course that it should run. I don't think most people realize that this is a real problem for hundreds of thousands of individuals. It might take a few more celebrities with M.I. on Larry King or a few quality talk show appearances by someone famous to get the word out, but for Gods sake please let it happen soon.
> With all the other minorities out there getting attention it is about time we get some positive press!

Thanks for getting the word out. We all must work together to fight against the injustice we receive and fight for justice.

Amen to that! I'm sorry for what you had to go through. I hope your son has found his way. I worry about my child because both her Dad and I have "issues"! It's a shame that psych hospitals are being closed left and right all over the country. I'm not an activist of any sort, but I do agree with you!
