I believe you are right on re: trauma and abuse.

I believe my brain -- and my life -- would be different if I had the proper intervention at the time of the trauma and abuse. Instead, there was no intervention, which was par for the course back then. (I am in my 50's.)

We know better now!
Let's encourage more research. Maybe share our stories. I want to have more hope for today's children... or are they also falling between the cracks?

I think some of us, if not all of us, need to be courageous and tell our stories in order to incite more attention ( and funding) toward issues of mental health (outside of the pharmaceutical companies)?

I could go on and on, but won't. Not in this moment anyway.

Do we have the courage to show and tell, shedding light upon what needs more/better attention?
