Say What I Need to Say
Posted by Shelley on Jan 10, 2010 in Mental Illness |
One in six adults has a mental illness.
My dad was diagnosed bipolar with manic episodes and psychotic features this past August. He died in November.
The first question the social worker asked me when she located me as his next of kin was, “is there a history of mental illness in your family?” I said, “yes, my dad’s grandmother was schizophrenic.”
yep, you bet I am going to say what I need to say.
