Truer words have never been spoken: "Mental illness is a cruel disease." This is a quote from near the end of a book I browsed (but didn't buy--money's tight) in the book store, Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness. I meant to post this quote the same night I got home from the book store, but I forgot. The author, Pete Earley, says it's cruel to both the victim and his family. He's so right. (If you want to get the book and save a bit, do a search for the bargain hardback edition.) I'm not affiliated with this book, publisher or the author in any way, but I just wanted to share that quote.
