I Think the Ignorance About Mental Health Issues Must End

Too much research and too many resources out there for people to still be ignorant about mental health and what it entails. A simple google search would suffice. Hell, just open your ears and listen to what people have to say when they try and explain it to you.

Wonderful idea. Unfortunately there is no cure or control for many mental illnesses and for many many people who are afflicted with the mentally ill individuals around them there is no relief available.

@hippyjoe1955 this is so sad. There may not be a cure yet, but treatment is always available

@Introvertish20 from my experience most treatments are not effective and offer only marginal control. Bi-polar individuals still cycle up and down. Borderline Personality Disordered people are still somewhere between psychotic and neurotic. Schizophrenics are still schizophrenic etc etc etc. Yes some powerful meds can control some of the symptoms but that is about it.

Having dealt with schizophrenia for a number of years I get and I agree with all you've said.
