I am so upset at the difference between funding for Schizophrenia v AIDS, I beleive the aids community has done a much better job at relieving stigma than the mental health community, and that includes the medical profession that serve us.
Your information is also very helpful for someone like me who needs to utelize the mental health services to enhance my recovery.

Hi Christina,
Thank-you on behalf of your fellow Americans for the information.
Here in Canada we have the C.M.H.A. ( Canadian Mental Health Association ) as the biggest advocate.
But when you're alone and you don't feel well, a phone call somehow doesn't really make sense. Or does it ? There is a Crisis Line, ( it's in the phone book ), and there is also a crisis nurse. Just a sympathetic ear to listen and give you good counsel. Reaching out can often be an impossible dream at times. I know. I've been in that place.
