Way cool when any family member makes an effort to learn about mental illness. It's just too common that people close to you can be so stand-offish and cold. I'm thinking Mary Tyler Moore in "Ordinary People" (great flick, see it if you haven't). She didn't want people to know. She didn't like "messes". My Mom is gone and I wish she'd been different... she refused to learn about depression. "Why would I want to know how awful that feels?"
