By George, I think I've got it. All these years I would cringe hearing the words mental illness. Grant it, I too have issues. Anyway, I think it is the compassion of Doc John that turned on the light. His intent is to educate people. Those who have a mental illness and hopefully those who don't have mental illness issues. For people to have a better understanding on both sides. I think he reached me as in a positive way. I have a better understanding now.

What brought all of this on is I think my son may have something going on and I need to somehow encourage him to maybe see a therapist. This is when I fully realized I sometimes have had negative feelings towards mental illness. The stigma, one is nuts, etc.

I don't want my son to slip through the cracks so I want to pass some hints and positive vibes in seeking a therapist. I am not sure, but I sense something isn't "right" with my son. Depression might be the problem. But then I am not a therapist so I really am not sure.

ANYway, Psych Central is a good thing. Thanks Doc John for PC and all your efforts. You are greatly appreciated by many.
