Mental Health Awareness Week, Oct 2-8

Mental Health Awareness Week, Oct 2-8
I don't ordinarily post these kinds of things, but this is a subject that personally touches me very deeply. I'm not pimping for donations, but I'm certainly not going to discourage it.

Mental Illness affects one in four families in the USA, oftentimes with profound results - and sometimes tragic ones. Despite advances over the years, a lot of misinformation and stigma surrounds the issue.

As someone who has been afflicted with mental illness for nearly my entire life (Type 1 bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and general anxiety disorder), I have personally experienced the stigma.

Please take a minute to visit NAMI's website (National Alliance on Mental Illness), and perhaps learn a thing or two.
