great vidoe sharing

Totally empathise with all of this. Finally got around to getting myself officially diagnosed for Major Depression... after five years of being aware of it and more than eight years living with it. The effects are dramatically similar- I hated the idea of medication... and it worked for me.

Depression is main mental illness.

@mmatw2 She just saved my marriage and life.Finally,..... the TRUTH HAS SET ME FREE :0)

I went through two idiot doctors that were just in for the cash...real zeros. but i did find three that cared and helped. they made up the difference. i guess it is just luck of the draw.

@mmatw2 Most become psych med zombies, and the psych department does nothing about gross and vulgar boundry violating against their own patients. Dr Jamison is a good wrtiter; but sadly her co-authored book 'Touched With Fire' gathers dust on doctors bookshelves. Behaviorits lack creativity, and humor. Run from psych meds friends. I became a 'village idiot' before I figured out their game. They really dont give a fig about you; unless you are 'in the loop'

What a wonderful lady! Thank you so much! It helped me a lot to understand/feel my illness better.

this LADY saved my life in 1999. She is a beloved and wonderful lady.
The way she talks about this awful disease is very empathic. That is the most important for me. She is in an unique position of being the 'ultimate' expert. Although the illnes comes in many shapes. Raising awareness the way she does can save lives.

Wow... how awfully brave to share her story. As a person with Bi-polar ... that level of disclosure is terrifying at best.
