I am so weary from feeling so ashamed of having a mental illness, no one to talk to honestly, hiding how you really feel deep down. We are real caring intelligent people and would just like mental illness to be as socially acceptable as cancer. Thank You very much!Oct 6th, 2013Someone from Frisco, TX signed.

Most people suffering from mental health illness are of no harm to society, but are a great harm to themselves. Save a life and allow them to live again.REPORT COMMENTS

We need comprehensive reform for mental illness NOT mental health. For those who have found mental health recovery from their mental illness...we cheer for you and we are not talking about you. We are talking about those who are receiving treatment by jail, treatment by crisis, treatment by luck, inadequate treatment or no treatment at all. We need a mental illness system of care that will provide treatment before tragedy.REPORT COMMENTS

Enough time has passed without anything being done. We need to make people aware of the truth. Too many lives have been lost and it needs to stop. We need more facilities to help these people. I am willing to do anything it takes to these people the help and educate those who do not understand.REPORT COMMENTS
