Deborah,I just read part of something you wrote, but it hit me hard that "someone thinks like I DO....." regarding the NAME of this brain illness!!!! If you are able to respond, I don't know how....I'm new to this connection...but I do want to follow up. I know that this comment is in response to the wrong question: it had to do with commmon incorrect beliefs about depression. How can I follow up with you, a discussion about this naming thing?
A depressed person is NOT mentally ill
I had a brain annie...I must be TOTALLY "UNDESIRABLE" .....Oh NO 
Guess They wouldn't let me in at all!! I am TOTALLY "undesirable"....
