Just a comment..there have been numerous books written..people literally have come out of the closet to say they suffer from depression..e.g. the former Govenor of Florida, news people, football players...etc.....right now people are focused in our country on unemployment, lack of money; foreclosures . politics etc. Our plight right now is small compared to some of our fellow Americans who indeed are suffering in a different way.
We have always been behind when it comes to mental illness. You think in the year 2011 we would have progressed but we have not. There continues to be a stigma no matter how hard we fight. However we have each other and we understand each other. For now at this time,that has to be enough. We will get our chance.
