It’s not one I expect everyone to relate to. But basically Terri is the woman who does have everything and still suffers from this illness. It doesn’t matter how much money, love, sex, or drugs she can get her hands on, it only makes her disorder worse. And at the same time she’s more ignored and her problems are swept under the rug because everyone assumes that if you live the affluent lifestyle that she does then you must have no problems at all. Highly recommend.
Look at the celebrities who have died of "affluenza" from both diagnosed and undiagnosed MI ,be it drugs ,alcohol , or direct intentional SH .money and status can be barriers to accurate diagnoses and treatment , the numbers dont lie .
