Mental & Drug/Alcohol Disorders

MENTAL DISORDERS     

The worst part of mental disorders is that few are willing to talk openly about them, and fewer still are willing to listen.

For those afflicted by mental illness, this silence makes an already painful problem even worse. It can make their everyday life feel unbearable and the overcoming of obstacles seem impossible.

But there’s absolutely no shame in mental illness, and no one should feel that they can’t ask for help or share their story with others.
