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.
