Increasing understanding of mental illness by sharing my personal struggle with major depressive disorder, PTSD, and generalized anxiety disorder. It's crucial that sufferers not feel stigmatized and are not afraid to ask for help, especially the children. It's natural to be afraid of things we don't understand, so maybe by sharing our experiences, we can make a difference. Talk with others, ask questions, share this blog. Mental illness is not something of which to be afraid.

Stand up for Mental Health! su4mh.com
Stand up for Mental Health is a campaign overseen by HealthyPlace.com, one of the leading mental health consumer websites in the US. The campaign, like the Bell Let's Talk campaign, is to raise awareness about mental health and to help remove the stigma of mental illness by encouraging others to share their stories.The site is a wealth of information describing every kind of mental illness, psychological tests you can take, informative articles, blogs, personal stories and much more. The statistics, of course, are American, but mental illness is mental illness no matter what country you're in, so check it out, I find it very helpful.http://www.healthyplace.com/
