I've often wondered, if I had received any kind of mental health care when I was young, would my life have turned out to be less of a train wreck? It's difficult to know because, back when I was young, mental illness was considered something to be ashamed of & there were almost no services available. In the whole scheme of things, perhaps it was just as well I was left to twist in the wind, as the saying goes.
