The reach of mental illness

 
 
 
 

Mental illness respects no boundaries. It is an equal opportunity disease that can affect anyone – young or old, rich or poor, urban or suburban. Mental illness is arguably the most misunderstood affliction as it wreaks havoc, creating fear, stigma, and confusion. Fortunately, with the advances in research and the efforts of advocacy groups, the myths surrounding mental illness are slowly being dispelled. This improves the likelihood that those who need help, seek it out. And it improves the quality of life of the community as a whole. Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill experienced depression. Patty Duke and musician Peter Gabriel live with manic depression. Nobel laureate John Nash lived with schizophrenia. Even Michelangelo coped with mental illness.
