They may not show bruises or cuts. They may not have a cast or a splint. Yet, their pain is very real and may be deeper as they often feel they cannot talk about it without judgment or ridicule and their healing can take many years. They are our family members, friends and neighbors with mental illness.
Medical science is just starting to understand the causes and cures for a variety of illnesses including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia. As the research continues, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is here to provide support and information to those suffering from mental illness and their families.
With NAMI’s support, hundreds of thousands across the country are able to receive better treatment, have a better quality of life, return to the work force, and enjoy their families.
