Hi Andrew,
I must say, I am a bit curious about your motivation to start this thread. From your post I can't tell what experience you have with mental illness - if any. For people who live with mental illness - themselves, with those they love, or in their line of work, it is a very personal thing, and not one which is necessarily easy to talk about. It's a discussion that needs to feel very safe. How do you conceptualize this thread?
Respectfully,
Wicket

I thought this thread would be a great place to talk about mental illness.
Namaste,
Andrew
