I find that quite interesting. It expresses a lot of things about the point of view that NAMI espouses that I have thought over the years too. Their viewpoint has been quite limited.

One quote from the article:

When I believed that a chemical imbalance drove my everyday experience, I told myself, "I am Bipolar." When I learned that the chemical imbalance was only a part of me, I told other people, "I have Bipolar." When I discovered that a chemical imbalance has nothing to do with me, I realized, "I am Human."

I find that Steve Morgan has expressed his views on NAMI and "mental illness" in general in a much more coherent way than I have been able to!
