That is so true - mental illness can, and does, strike any family...and mental illness carries a stigma so people are very often embarressed to get the help they need. No one wants to be thought of as "crazy". In truth, a mental illness is simply another type of illness that can be treated with help and there is certainly nothing "crazy" about getting that help.
