Warning: the link I mention is very sad, but also affirming.It is good this difficult topic is 'getting an airing' in a humane fashion.

Article appears in the Seattle Post Intelligencer of 2nd March. The community's responses are also very thoughtful.

 The link (fingers crossed) is http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/401885_filmmaker02.html

title "documenting a troubled mind"

Just read this most moving thought provoking personal account of incredibly complicated 'losses' (to self and family ) that can  accompany and outlive the person suffering serious mental illness, when not stabilised. A brave and honest essay promising a moving film, from  an adult now bereaved daughter (Delaney Rushton)'s perspective of her father.

Do read the comments also, they are also very well worth reading through though they are many....the issue of stigma runs clearly through, but also the difficulties when family safety etc are involved. (Echoes of many Ask Q's on this board, and their anguish)

 The promised film has its website which is also interesting http://www.unlistedfilm.com
