Purpose of this site:

My goal is to provide information that may be helpful for family members, caregivers, and friends of those who suffer from severe brain disorders (severe mental illness) and who are at various stages of intervention, treatment, and 'recovery'.

You are not alone!

This site is designed for posting articles either written by myself or others that contain helpful information in managing our lives while caring for others. Also, to provide information about how to help those we love who suffer from a severe brain disorder (severe mental illness).

This site is a 'Take What You Need and Leave the Rest' approach to shared information. Some links may come from pharmaceutical companies, elder care sites, advocacy websites, etc.

Some of the information you will read will be applicable to your needs and some may not. All information is useful. It's in what you do with it.

If you keep an open mind, find what might work for you and take just that information and see how it fits in your situation, I think that you'll find merit here.

There is no magic bullet for these illnesses. I don't believe in blocking any path that could lead to relief for anyone. Everyone has the right to be well.

"Cognitive Enhancement Therapy Improves Emotional Intelligence in Early Course Schizophrenia: Preliminary Effects"

"Cognitive Enhancement Therapy Improves Emotional Intelligence in Early Course Schizophrenia: Preliminary Effects" from NIH Public Access (link to article provided below) What this translates to is that time is brain when dealing with a severe brain disorder. When early intervention and the proper treatment for that individual has been secured along with appropriate support services, then there is hope. Don't hesitate. Do what is needed to address the destructive and unwanted symptoms of a severe brain disorder. This is such a critical pivotal time. The longer a person goes untreated or improperly treated severe brain disorders, the more symptomatic the are. The more symptomatic they are the more severe the symptoms will become. The more severe the symptoms become, the more brain cells that are needed to 'recover' are lost. Get your loved one help for any severe brain disorder as soon as you can. Continue to fight for the right treatment until the disturbing and often dangerous symptoms have been addressed. Continue to fight for their right to treatment and an improved quality of life. They deserve it. You deserve to have your love one back as free from the control of their illness as possible! THE RIGHT TO TREATMENT! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2921636/
