Jennifer Myers, October 4, 2012
I’ve received a couple of emails recently related to my schizoaffective disorder blog asking me for advice. I’m starting to realize how difficult it is for people to understand mental illness. Every person is unique, and so what might work for one individual may not be suitable for another. Families and loved ones in particular are [...]
