> Shelli - Many of my friends have, or have had, a mental illness at some point in their lives. Many of my coworkers also have had mental problems that have required professional help. Since epidemiological studies show that 1 in 4 people will, at some point in their life, have a mental illness that will require professional treatment, I don't feel so alone and definitely am not ashamed by my illness.

I just saw a study that indicates 1 in 3 meet the critera for a mental illness condition. I think that because I am open about myself more are willing to mention their problems. Also LD's and comorbid disorders run in my family.
