Fight the stigma - NAMI has statistics showing how prevalent mental illness is. There's hardly anyone that isn't affected in some way.
The National Institute of Mental Health has numbers about serious mental illness, which means an illness which limits one or more life activities.
If you or a loved one needs help, don't stop until you find the right person or place that can help. Just like with any other illness, getting help early can help limit the impact of the illness.
One of the best things I did was to take a NAMI family to family class. It helped me understand what my son was gong through, and it connected me with other families who knew exactly what we were going through.
