HI, I DID'NT GET TO WATCH THE WHOLE PROGRAM, BUT, I HOPE IT WILL MAKE A CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT PEOPLE THINK OF MENTAL ILLNESS. WE ARE NOT (CRAZY) AND NO ONE SHOULD THINK OF US AS STRANGE. I AM TRYING TO STOP TAKING ZOLOFT, PLUS 4 OTHER DRUGS, BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE CAUSING MY VISION TO BE MORE BLURRY THAN IT ALREADY IS.I HAVE CATARACS BUT I HAVE NO MEDICAL INSURANCE SO I CANT GET THEM REMOVED. MY HUSBAND IS ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND WE ARE OVER THE INCOME LIMIT FOR ANY KIND OF AID. SO, I SIT HERE THINKING BY THE TIME I CAN GET MEDICARE I WILL BE BLIND. I,M SORRY TO BE TELLING YOU ALL OF THIS...I MEANT TO ONLY COMMENT ON THE PROGRAM...GOD BLESS YOU....JENNIFER
