Thanks for posting that, graciegirl.
I had a brother-in-law who committed suicide in 2014 but he refused to believe anything was wrong with him when my brother and sister-in-law tried to get him help. He never said anything that could have triggered involuntary commitment because he was very smart.
More education about mental illness and access to practical information is quite important. And stuff to combat bullying of all kinds.
Psychiatry is still quite young as a science and there are many areas where it is more an art form.

I was shocked and very surprised at the reaction of a few people when I broached the subject a few days ago.
One called me "sick". One called for removal of my post and that did happen. I believe that in this day and age, we all must be aware of severe depression around us. I am still trying to understand the reaction to my post.
Above all, I want you to know that I meant in no way to be insensitive or callous. None of us is immune to overwhelming sadness and hopelessness at times. |
