Oops I meant to add....

If someone had a heart problem, they'd get treated for it. To me, mental illness is the same. Alot of it is heredity coupled with environment, but some of it's just good old fashioned chemical imbalances. It's an actual illness and alot of people in the "real world" still see it differently. I agree with you on that point. And you're right it's nothing to be ashamed of. I agree wholeheartedly.

(((hugs))) Take care.
