I have little (if any, at all) experience with mental illness. If anybody I have ever known had some kind of problem, I never knew about it.
There is only thing that will help people in this situation: education. (well, and of course, lots of money)
| Thanks, tristan.
I sort of agree with you about the education and money issue. Sadly, not all people who suffer from mental illness have access to a lot of money - so, alas, they don't have the opportunity to go to school.
These are the people who eventually wind up in mental hospitals - some for the rest of their lives. I have interacted with some of these people, and their "situation" is not a pretty site.
I'm not going to go into government funding for these places, but let's just say that I personally believe that more work needs to be done in this area. And that's where the problem gets complicated. . .  Be still, and know that Dog I am.
