THE LAGRO AND LIN-COLNVILLE VOLUN-TEER FIRE DEPART-MENTS recently announcedthey are merging services inan effort to better serve resi-dents of the southern portionof Lagro Township. Serviceswill remain largely the same,but emergency calls inLincolnville’s primaryresponse area will result inthe dispatch of both depart-ments until further notice.(photos by Brent Swan)

by Brent SwanIn a prepared state-

ment released recent-ly, the LagroTownship Trustee,Andy DeLong,announced upcomingchanges in fire protec-tion and EmergencyMedical Services pro-tection within thetownship.According to the

release, the LagroTownship AdvisoryBoard, comprised ofmembers, TerryBassett, Ralph Ranck,and MaxChamberlain, and thetownship trusteeannounced the reor-ganization of theLincolnville andLagro Volunteer FireDepartments. The reorganization

is based upon theircontinuing efforts toimprove the emer-gency services, pro-vided to the residentsof Lagro Township. Lagro Township is

one of the largesttownships by geo-graphic area in theentire State ofIndiana. The mem-bership of theLincolnville FireDepartment hasdecreased recently,and some of the moreactive volunteers liveoutside of theLincolnville area. As a result of these

and other factors, aconsolidation of the

departments is rec-ommended.Lagro Fire

Department andLincolnville FireDepartments will beconsolidated underthe current leader-ship of the LagroDepartment. All of the existing

members of bothdepartments willhave the option tocontinue as volun-teers. All reportingrequirements, runstatistics, fundraisersand department fund-ing will remain sepa-rate, but may bereviewed at a latertime. The unified depart-

ment will operate in asimilar manner asNoble North andNoble SouthVolunteer FireDepartments current-ly operate. The goal isto provide more effi-cient and more profes-sional emergencyservice coverage forLagro Township. Scott Siders will

continue to serve asthe chief of the com-bined departments.Training, equipmentmaintenance, andresponse to emer-gency calls will con-tinue, without anyinterruption. The pro-cedure for LagroTownship residents torequest emergencyservices remains

unchanged. “We made these

changes in an effort tooffer taxpayers thebest and most afford-able protective servic-es we can offer,” advi-sory board memberRalph Ranck said.“We want people toknow when they call911, that they aregoing to get a quickand professionalresponse, just as theyalways have.”One of the con-

tributing factors tothe decision was thenumber of volunteerson Lincolnville’sdepartment.“After talking about

it for several months,

we decided we need edto make this changeuntil we got the situa-tion taken care of,”Ranck explained.“The number ofactive firefighters onthe department keptgoing down, so we hadto do something.”After much deliber-

ation, the board andthe trustee agreed amerger was in thebest interest of south-ern Lagro Townshipresidents.“This decision

reaches a much largerarea than only thetown of Lincolnville,”Ranck said. “Thereare a lot of farms andother areas that need-

ed an improvedresponse, so we feltthis option was thebest available at thistime.”Although the

change has been offi-cially enacted at thistime, Ranck said themerger is not neces-sarily a permanentsolution.“We told the guys

that stayed on atLincolnville, if theycan come to us with aviable long-termplan and they areable to get their num-bers back up, thenwe will revisit thesituation then,”Ranck said. Although the

departments willmerge, Ranck saidthe departments willcontinue to be fund-ed separately.“At this time, we

are in negotiations toi m p r o v eLincolnville’s tankersituation,” Ranckexplained. “With thenewer fire stationand some equipmentimprovements, we’dlike to start seeingthose numbers getback to where theyshould be.”The consolidation

was announced at arecent meeting ofthe volunteer depart-ments, by the boardand the trustee. The

consolidation iseffective immediate-ly.Residents in the

northern portion ofthe township will notnotice any changesto their services. In the near future,

Ranck said he hopesto hold a public meet-ing to allow thoseaffected by thechange. The Paperwill publish thedetails as theybecome available.Phone calls to the

Lagro TownshipTrustee’s officerequesting commentwent unreturned as ofpress time.

Lagro and Lincolnville Fire Departments set to merge services

by Brent SwanOn January 1st of

this year, MentalHealth America ofWabash County(MHA) welcomed JillStout as the new exec-utive director. Stoutreplaced Mary AnnMast, who had beenassociated with MHAfor nearly 50 years,including the past 25years as executivedirector.“Mary Ann is

great,” Stout said.“She has been instru-mental in formingwhere MHA ofWabash County istoday. I have been for-

tunate enough thatshe has helped in thetransition. Afterspending the firstpart of this year inthe job, you start torealize what all shewas responsible forand how much shehelped MHA ofWabash County get towhere it is today.”After spending time

in the office as execu-tive director, Stoutsaid she has been sur-prised by how manygroups Mast had beeninvolved with. “I never realized

how many meetingsMary Ann attended,”

Stout said. “That’sbeen a real eye open-er, in a good way, as itshows how involvedour organization is inthe community.”As part of its

involvement, MHA ofWabash Countyattends various localhealth fairs andevents, includingrecent activities atManchester Collegeand Southwood HighSchool, as well aslarger events such asthe Wabash County 4-H Fair.“Attending those

events are good waysfor us to disseminate

information about theissues, and connectwith people one onone so they feel com-fortable about anyissues they mighthave,” Stout said. “Wedon’t just deal withmental illness, wealso deal with mentalwellness, to not onlythose directly impact-ed but the familiesand caregivers ofthose that are.”Funded entirely by

donations and grants,the non-profit organi-zation leans heavilyon the WabashCounty United Fund.

by Karlee MarshallIf you’re driving

down Dora Road youmay be lucky enoughto see the sight ofyouth and adults rid-ing dirt bikes andquads at WabashC a n n o n b a l lMotorcycle Club.According to club his-torian Phil Penn thisracetrack has been inoperation since 1937when it started out asa flat track and profes-sional TT racingtrack. Among itsfounders wasWabash’s own WaldoBrandt. WabashCannonball is theNation’s oldest trackin the American

M o t o r c y c l eAssociation (AMA).They now host racesand open rides forcommunity membersduring the summerand fall months. Starting brand new

this year, Cannonballis hosting a Free PublicYouth Open Ride onMay 19 from 10 a.m. to 3p.m. This is a ride opento any individualbetween the ages offour and 16. The pur-pose of this ride is topromote safety andproper safety gearusage while operatingoff-road motorizedvehicles. “Its really about the

kids,” says Brad Lee,

a member of WabashCannonball. Thewhole premise of theclub is to promote thesport of motorcycleriding, and along withthat comes safety.”Youth and adults

who are interested inthis ride are encour-aged to bring theirdirt bike or 4-wheelerand any safety gearthey may have. Therewill be experiencedadults there to assistyouth in learning howto operate the vehiclesafely, all while wear-ing the necessarysafety equipment. Lee states “If we

can influence one kid,even just one, to never

get on a motorizedvehicle without wear-ing a helmet and theproper safety equip-ment, and it keepsthem from gettinghurt then we’veaccomplished ourmission.”Jay Wagner, an

instructor at theSchool of Braaap, willbe on-site to talk withthe kids about properoperation and howimportant it is toalways wear propersafety equipmentwhile on their off-road vehicle. At theride, there will bedoor prizes, donatedby many local shops,including safety gear

and used safety equip-ment. On the day of the

ride, there will be dif-ferent stations set upfor kids to split intogroups. ClubMembers will guidethe youth throughvarious drills empha-sizing correct ridingtechniques. A lunchof hamburgers andhot dogs as well as adrink will be providedfree of charge. To find out about

The WabashCounty Conventionand Visitors Bureauhas launched a part-nership with IndianaFoodways Alliance(IFA) as an opportuni-ty to highlight thecounty’s local restau-rants and appeal toculinary tourists. A unique food and

drink experience hasthe power to luretourists like muse-ums, recreation andshopping. Culinarytourism is the hottestniche to emerge with-in the travel industryin years because din-ing is one of the bestways visitors can getto know a new locale.Of the more than

$330 billionAmericans spent onfood in 2011, nearly 80percent was spent inrestaurants and near-ly one-third of thatwas spent on fine din-ing, according to ErikWolf, president andCEO of the CulinaryTourism Association.Regional foods andrecipes are a majorpart of what makesone place differentfrom another.The Indiana

Foodways Alliance isdedicated to the cele-bration, promotionand preservation ofthe authentic foodculture of Indiana. “Wabash County

has so many locallyowned and operatedeateries worthy ofp r o m o t i n g , ”explained ChristineFlohr, executivedirector of tourism.“This partnershipleverages our market-ing efforts and draws

awareness to thegreat culinary experi-ences availablethroughout the coun-ty.” Editorials about

Wabash County din-ing are featured onthe IFA websitewhich is www.indi-anafoodways.com. Currently, Mr.

Dave’s Restaurant,the Main View Inn,Ken ap o c oMo ch a ,Hawkins FamilyFarm, Twenty,Market Street Grilland Eugenia’sRestaurant areamong the first togain attention via theIndiana FoodwaysAlliance. Qualifyingrestaurants mustmeet certain criteriaand pass an onsiteassessment, whichincludes a food tast-ing with an IndianaFoodways Alliancerepresentative. “By realizing that

nearly 100 percent oftourists dine outwhen traveling, andthat dining is consis-tently one of the topthree favorite touristactivities, we have theopportunity to tapinto the culinarytourism market bypartnering withIndiana FoodwaysAlliance,” statedFlohr. “There is ahigh correlationbetween tourists whoare interested inwine/cuisine andthose interested inmuseums, shows,shopping, music, filmfestivals and outdoorrecreation. Unlikeother travel activitiesand attractions, cui-sine is available year-

round, any time ofday and in any weath-er.”Most recently, the

Indiana FoodwaysAlliance has been fea-tured in such publica-tions as the Indy Star,Traditional ArtsIndiana and Gotta Goand has a returningsegment on NPR aswell as WIBC 93.1 anIndianapolis radiostation. “I am still seeking

additional restau-rants and artisaneateries to participatein the program,”

Flohr said. “Anyrestaurateur or arti-san eatery interestedin being a part of thisopportunity is wel-come to contact me.”

H u n t i n g t o nUniversity is plan-ning to launch thefirst graduate-leveldegree programs inoccupational therapyin Northeast Indianain the fall of 2014. The university is in

the process of search-ing for a director whowill help to create themaster’s and doctorallevel degree pro-grams. This will bethe university’s firstdoctorate degree andits first graduate pro-grams in alliedhealth.

“Developing gradu-ate programs in occu-pational therapy is anexciting venture forHU,” said Dr. AnnMcPherren, seniorvice president forstrategy and gradu-ate/adult programs.“Preparing occupa-tional therapists atHU won’t be justabout teaching skillsand credentialing stu-dents. It’s about devel-oping leaders whohave a heart for serv-ing others and whohave the knowledgeand motivation to pos-

itively impact theirplaces of employmentand our communi-ties.”The graduate pro-

grams will be locatedwithin the new LifeScience Educationand ResearchConsortium ofNortheast Indiana inFort Wayne. The pro-grams will work withand build on the sup-port of the other insti-tutions in the consor-tium including TrineUniversity, whichplans to launch a doc-toral program inphysical therapy pro-gram at the same loca-tion. The programswill also build onHuntington’s under-graduate degrees inexercise science,nursing and recre-ation management.Fort WayneCommunity Schools,Ivy Tech CommunityCol lege -Nor theast

and the University ofSaint Francis willoffer programsthrough the consor-tium, as well.“Occupational ther-

apy is an in-demandfield which is expect-ed to continue to growgiven recent medicaldevelopments withstroke survivors aswell as people recov-ering from joint andhip replacements,”said Dr. NorrisFriesen, senior vicepresident for academ-ic affairs and dean ofthe faculty. “Given theinterest in exercisescience, our missionand the fact that thereare no other similarprograms in our area,this is a very uniqueopportunity for us toinfluence the nextgenerate of occupa-tional therapists withan accredited pro-gram that seeks tointegrate God’s mes-sage of grace and loveby helping peopleregain their strengthand abilities to livefull and fruitful lives.”The Life Science

Education andResearch Consortiumwill open on theParkview Randalliacampus in FortWayne. Along withthe occupational ther-apy programs,Huntington will offerbachelor’s degree pro-grams in humanresource manage-ment, not-for-profitleadership, RN-BSNdegree completionand its Master ofCounseling program.

First FarmersFinancial Corp.,Converse, and FirstCitizens of Paris,Inc., Paris, Ill., com-pleted their previ-ously announcedmerger on May 1, bywhich CitizensNational Bankmerged into FirstFarmers Bank &Trust, the whollyowned subsidiarybank of FFFC. Gene Miles,

President and ChiefExecutive Officer ofFirst Farmers Bank& Trust stated, “Weare extremely excit-ed at the blending ofthese two organiza-tions. Both banksshare the commonphilosophy of com-mitment to commu-nity banking andrural agriculture.We feel that our com-bined staffs will bein an excellent posi-tion to provide com-prehensive financialservices to clients in

new markets that areeconomically andculturally similar tothose that FirstFarmers Bank &Trust has servedvery effectively since1885.” The acquisition

will give FirstFarmers Bank &Trust 24 branches (21in Indiana and 3 inIllinois), over $1.1billion in assets, andgross capital of over$100 million.“Technology certain-ly allows our organi-zation to serve mar-kets that we wouldnot have predicted 20years ago. “However, it is cer-

tainly not a substi-tute for possessingexperienced, quali-fied, and conscien-tious local employ-ees to serve thesemarkets in a progres-sive and comprehen-sive manner. We areonly as capable asthose that represent

our name and I amconfident that cus-tomers in Paris,Oakland, and TerreHaute will find ourorganization to beunique in our level ofservice and expert-ise. Our strong capi-tal position gives usan excellent opportu-nity to grow thisbusiness and we’reexcited about thefuture of our com-bined operations,”added Miles.Mike Renninger,

Renninger &Associates LLC, hasacted, as financialadvisor to FirstFarmers FinancialCorp. and Tom Blankof Shumaker Loop &Kendrick, LLP, iscounsel to FirstFarmers FinancialCorp. in connectionwith the transaction.Financial terms ofthe transaction werenot announced.

First Farmers Bank & Trust acquires Citizens National Bank

Dear editor,We have reviewed

the recent draft of theWabash CountyComprehensive Plan(at the WabashLibrary) and in ouropinion it has somevery good points, butis lacking in provid-ing promotion ofmanufacturing, pro-fessional and retailjobs, while being over-ly supportive of agri-cultural animalfarms. This can bedestructive to ruralhouseholds as well aswater supplies tocities. It also seems tobe attempting to forcerural citizens to signa waiver of theirrights and turn overall control of theirhomeowner’s rightsand self-preservationof health, by signingthe “Sample,A g r i c u l t u r eC o m p a t i b i l i t yClause” in AppendixH.Obviously the ones

in office and thosethat are developingthe comprehensiveplan are, as a majori-ty, agriculture-relatedand not for manufac-turing, professionaland retail. (p. 72) Weneed manufacturing,professional andretail good jobs, notjust make a few richanimal farm owners. Are we being taken

over by Russia? Whathappened to freedomof choice? Why do weallow one segment ofthe industry (largeanimal farms) toendanger our healthand restrict our livingenvironment?We urge everyone to

review this newComprehensive Planand reflect on theircurrent and futureliving plans. Thenexpress your views

(in writing, for therecord) to the CountyZoning and PlanningCommissioners andCounty Council. We may have

missed it, but we seeno revealing of theplanned rezoning ofthe county into multi-tiered agriculturezones without thisbeing made public, weare totally ignorant ofthe impact on ourlives.You are about to

determine the rest ofyour life here inWabash County. We have briefly

shown below some ofthe ComprehensivePlan’s information toshow why this is ouropinion.- Median Household

Income: (p. 47)Although it shows ithas increased, whenyou factor in infla-tion, it shows it hasd r a m a t i c a l l ydecreased from 1979to 2009.- Wabash

Employment Percent:(p. 50) From 2000 until2010, almost 50 per-cent of manufactur-ing jobs were lost. (40percent in 2000 to 23percent in 2010); agri-culture, forest, fishingand huntingincreased from 1.5percent to 3.2 percent;health care and socialassets remained atabout the same per-cent; and retail tradedeclined from 14 per-cent to 10 percent.- Land Use

Introduction: (p. 73)“Objective – Enact astrong farmlandpreservation”. Thisleads us to believe theintent is to movetowards larger farmswith a smaller num-ber of farm workers,deforest the land,push population into

towns, incorporatemulti-tier agricultur-al zoning and takeaway freedoms fromrural landowners.Also, see Appendix Hwhere they want youto sign off from anycomplains against anagriculture enter-prise (including a newor existing large ani-mal farm). We needprotection added inhere that protects ourhealth.- Environment: (p.

75) “Goal is to protectaquifers; incentivesfor agriculture toincorporate best prac-tices in all agricultureand agriculture relat-ed operations; goodpreservation of natu-ral wooded areas andwetlands; good envi-ronmental impact onrecreational areas incounty.” This goal isvery good, but musthave strong enforce-ment and theAppendix H“ A g r i c u l t u r eC o m p a t i b i l i t yClause” nullifies mostof these goals.Without concreteguidelines forrestricting pollutionof air and groundwa-ter from large CAFÉand CFO animalfarms, our air andwater can be pollutedmuch faster and heav-ier than by cities.- Appendix H (p.

136) “Sample,A g r i c u l t u r eC o m p a t i b i l i t yClause”: This is whatthey are recommend-ing that new ruralhomeowners orprospective business-es agree to before theywill let them build orexpand in the county. “First, acknowl-

edges and agrees thatthe real estate is in oradjacent to an areazoned for…animal

husbandry, landapplication of animalwaste, the raising,breeding and sale oflivestock and poultry,including confine-ment feeding opera-tion…”“Second, waives

any and all objectionsto any such agricul-tural uses on any realestate zoned for suchuses within one mileof any boundary ofthe real estate,whether such usescurrently exist, areenlarged or changedin use in the future toanother agriculturaluse.”This gives them an

open book! Noticethat although theCounty Zoning andP l a n n i n gCommission haveonly zoned for largeanimal farms (hog,chicken, dairy, CFO-CAFOs) to be restrict-ed from operatingwithin a quarter mileof existing rural resi-dents and a half mileof state park andrecreation areas; theyare making you waiveyour complaint rightson any proposed useof residence or busi-ness within a one-mile radius of anarea zoned for agri-cultural uses.“Third, agrees that

such agriculturaluses, whether cur-rently existing orhereafter established,enlarged, or changed,do not constitute anuisance, as long asthey are not negli-gently maintained, donot cause bodilyinjury to third par-ties, or endangerhuman health.”Who will be the

judge of this? IN caseyou didn’t know it,the entire responsi-bility for your healthfrom spreading of fer-tilizers (manure) nowfalls under the StateChemist Department– not under your localhealth department.And with the newagriculture nuisancelaw, passed this year,you will have to berich to fight a largecorporation animalfarm.So please review

this newComprehensive Planand decide on yourown future here inWabash County.

NORTH MANCHESTER ROTARIANS got hands-on experience when Julie Dyson, JuniorAchievement area coordinator, gave a presentation to them recently. The Rotary Club members splitinto two teams to perform an activity from JA’s Our Community program. Teams used unit produc-tion and assembly line production methods to produce as many donuts as possible in a two-minuteperiod. Club members had to mix the ingredients, shape the donuts, flavor them and inspect theirwork for defects just as Manchester second grade students participating in the program do. Memberspictured are: (from left) Karl Merrit, Tim Hoffman, Carl Lemna, Kay Batdorf, Deb Brauneller, VivSimmons, Dick Harshbarger, Denny Butler and David Rogers. (photo provided)

The new name of our mental illness sup-port group is Living in Balance. TheBalance Sheet, the MHA of WabashCounty’s quarterly newsletter, has inherit-ed its name from the bipolar support groupnewsletter. These names emphasize that“balance” is the most important term to meas a bipolar person, and I believe it is thekey to mental wellness.

I have often said at support group meet-ings that I hate the term “normal” in refer-ence to mental health. In my opinion, nor-mal is used to describe some kind of ideal,a perfect state of mental health, a conditionwithout stress or depression, pain or suffer-ing, anxiety or anger, euphoria or rapture,a state that doesn’t really exist. Such a con-dition doesn’t sound appealing to me and isa pipe dream anyway.

Balance, on the other hand, indicates ahappy median between extremes, a rangethat can be achieved. People with bipolar

How to help childrenafter a disaster

The Substance Abuse and MentalHealth Services Administration(SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services’ CrisisCounseling Assistance and Trainingprogram offers the following tips onhow to talk to children in the wake ofdisaster.

Provide children with opportunitiesto talk about what they are seeing ontelevision and to ask questions.

Don’t be afraid to admit that youcan’t answer all their questions.

Answer questions at a level the childcan understand.

Provide ongoing opportunities forchildren to talk. They will probablyhave more questions as time goes on.

Use this as an opportunity to estab-lish a family emergency plan. Feelingthat there is something you can domay be very comforting to both chil-dren and adults.

Allow children to discuss other fearsand concerns about unrelated issues.This is a good opportunity to explorethese issues also.

Monitor children’s TV viewing.Some parents may wish to limit theirchild’s exposure to graphic or trou-bling scenes. To the extent possible,watch reports of the disaster with chil-dren. It is at these times that questionsmight arise.

Help children understand that thereare no bad emotions and that a widerange of reactions is normal.

Encourage children to express theirfeelings to adults (including parentsand teachers) who can help themunderstand their sometimes strongand troubling emotions.

In addition to the tragic things theysee, parents and caregivers shouldhelp children identify good things,such as heroic actions, families whoare grateful for being reunited, and theassistance offered by people through-out the country and the world.

For children closer to the disasterscene, more active interventions maybe required. Some children will befrustrated that they cannot help direct-ly in the rescue work. Often they willhold themselves responsible.

To help children recover emotional-ly from disasters, the family as a unitmight consider counseling. Disastersoften reawaken a child’s fear of loss ofparents (frequently their greatest fear)at a time when parents may be preoc-cupied with their own practical andemotional difficulties.

Families may choose to permit tem-porary regressive behavior, such asthumb-sucking and wanting to sleepwith parents. Several arrangementsmay help children separate graduallyafter the agreed-upon time limit:spending extra time with parentsimmediately before bedtime, leavingthe child’s bedroom door slightly ajar,and using a nightlight.

Mental Health America of Wabash County will offer a presenta-tion on “Parenting 2.0: Raising Healthy Children in the Digital Age”on May 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Bowen Center Community Room,255 N. Miami Street, in Wabash.

The program will address Screentime and healthy development,social media and cyberbullying, and privacy and sex on the Internet.

To reserve a seat, please contact Jill Stout at 260-569-1182 or tollfree at 855-889-6429.

There is a lot of discussion about the proposed new designa-tion for childhood bipolar disorder as Temper DysregulationDisorder (TDD) in the fifth edition Diagnostic and StatisticalManual (DSM-5), which will be completed in May 2013.

The current designations for bipolar disorder include thefollowing: Bipolar I (one or more mania or mixed episodeswith one or more episodes of depression), Bipolar II (one ormore depressive episodes with at least one hypomaniacepisode), and Bipolar Not Otherwise Specified (NOS), whichdiagnosis may be made in addition to schizophrenia or variouspsychotic or delusional disorders.

Persons with bipolar disorder know that it sometimes itselfhas psychotic features such as delusions and hallucinations;anxiety problems; and even some symptoms of obsessive-com-pulsive disorder, as well as often severe problems with irri-tability and anger.

Bipolar disorder has in the past been diagnosed predomi-nantly in adults 18-25 years of age, but in the past severalyears, bipolar has been diagnosed in many young children andadolescents, even in toddlers.

The DSM-5 proposes to add temper dysregulation disorder asan aid in diagnosing children and adolescents who do not meetthe specific criteria of the adult bipolar categories, and thereis much argument pro and con for this label.

Many doctors believe that the TDD diagnosis will preventthe stigma of a “hard” mental illness diagnosis for children,and will better describe the common childhood bipolarepisodes of extreme irritability, tantrums, grandiose thinking,and reckless behaviors.

In addition, they believe that with this diagnosis, they willnot be labeling children with a lifelong diagnosis of a mentalillness. They also think that this diagnosis will preclude theprescription of adult antidepressants and antipsychotics forchildren.

But other practitioners believe that TDD is simply a way ofavoiding reality: bipolar disorder is what it is, regardless oflabeling. It is possible for the disease to occur in children, andwhile the limitations of safe treatment options exist, they donot justify ignorance of the disease.

While it is becoming apparent that some children are misdi-agnosed (for instance, the 2006 court case involving RebeccaRiley and her siblings, diagnosed as toddlers and taking largedoses of antipsychotics prescribed by an unscrupulous psychi-atrist and deliberately overdosed by greedy, neglectful parents,resulting in Rebecca’s death), others are helped with very milddoses of these medications and personal and family therapy.

It will be many years before the actual effects of these pow-erful drugs on developing minds are fully understood, but anyparent who has had a very young child attack a sibling with aknife or threaten or commit suicide will tell you that there isindeed a childhood version of bipolar disorder.

A serious problem in the definition of bipolar disorder ispresented by pharmaceutical manufacturers, also. Whileantipsychotic drugs are a Godsend for many people, drug com-panies are spending more of their budgets on advertising tothe general public than ever before.

As more and more celebrities are “coming out” as bipolar,more and more patients are going to their doctors, saying, “Ihave bipolar disorder,” though many of them seem to have lit-tle understanding of what the illness entails. The affect of themedia “hype” around bipolar disease and its treatments pres-ents a problem for those truly suffering from the illness. Is thisa factor to be considered in the formation of a new bipolardiagnosis such as TDD?

The physicians who are developing the DSM-5 must take intoconsideration all these factors before deciding to add TDD tothe bipolar spectrum. TDD could help many youngsters withearly bipolar disorder, but it could also prolong their exposureto powerful drugs and incompetent or exploitative physicians.

Perhaps it would be wiser to leave the diagnoses as they areand reformulate the prescribed treatments with a greaterfocus on metal health therapy and on life-skills training. Ineither case, bipolar disorder is a difficult diagnosis to make,and a difficult disorder to treat. Hopefully, physicians will keepthat in mind in formulating the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosticprocedures for juvenile bipolar disorder.

To learn more about the proposed changes to the DSM-5,check the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM website athttp://www.dsm5.org/Pages/RecentUpdates.aspx.

Eight gifts that don’t cost a centThe Gift of Listening - But you must really listen. No interrupting, no planning your response, just listen-

ing.The Gift of Affection - Be generous with hugs, kisses and pats on the back. Let these small actions demon-

strate the love you have for family and friends.The Gift of Laughter - Share articles and funny stories, clip cartoons. Your gift will say, “I love to laugh with

you.”The Gift of a Written Note - It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a complete sonnet. A brief, hand-

written note may be remembered for a lifetime and may even change a life.The Gift of a Compliment - A simple and sincere, “You look great in that suit,” “You did a super job” or “That

was a wonderful meal” can make someone’s day.The Gift of a Favor - Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.The Gift of Solitude - There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to

Ten tips to tame your temper This list of anger management tips from the Mayo Clinic will help you control your temper. - Give yourself a “timeout.” Counting to ten can really help you control your anger. - Give yourself some space. Distance yourself from the person you’re angry with until you have better con-

trol of your frustrations. - Once you are calm, express your anger. It’s healthy to express anger in a nonconfrontational manner;

stewing about it can worsen the situation. - Get some exercise. Physical activity provides an outlet for your emotions,

especially if you feel yourself losing control; walk, run or swim your frustra-tions to manageable levels.

- Think carefully before you say anything. Don’t say something you willregret; write down your thoughts so you don’t get sidetracked when you feelcalm enough to talk.

- Identify solutions to the situation. Don’t focus on what made you mad;instead, work with the person you’re angry with to resolve the situation.

- Use “I” statements to describe the problem. Avoid criticizing or castingblame.

- Don’t hold a grudge. If you can forgive the other person, it will help youboth.

- Use humor to release tensions. Lighten up and diffuse the tension; butdon’t use sarcasm-it can hurt feelings.

- Practice relaxation skills. Learn to relax and de-stress to control yourtemper; deep breathing, visualization, listening to music, writing in a jour-nal, doing yoga can all help to ease your anger.

Practice these tips and learn to tame your temper.

Working TogetherWe live in stress-filled times-the stagnant economy

and job market, terrorism throughout the world, envi-ronmental concerns-we are assaulted daily by thepressures the world and our own lives place upon us.Yet we also have moments of joy and happiness, confi-dent that we can move through and past our problems.

Many people who deal with mental health issues,theirs or those of a loved one or friend, do not havethat happiness or confidence. Mental illness can takeaway your pleasure in life, your trust in your ownjudgment, and your ability to move forward towardyour goals.

Mental Health America of Wabash County is here tohelp. Our mission is to work for the mental health ofeveryone through public education, advocacy and pub-lic health reform. In the United States, one out of fiveadults suffers from a mental illness, about 45.9 millionpeople.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)reports that about 5 percent of U.S. adults suffered aserious mental illness in the past year, but theSubstance Abuse and Mental Health ServicesAdministration (SAMHSA) reports that only 58.7 per-cent of those people received treatment.

An estimated 15 million young people in the United

States have a diagnosable mental or emotional healthdisorder, but studies report that up to 80 percent willnever receive treatment.

You may have a family member or friend who dealswith mental disease on a daily basis.

Mental diseases, like diabetes, heart disease or asth-ma, are diagnosable and treatable, and with your help,we can spread the message that there is hope for peo-ple with mental illnesses, that everyone needs to learnhow to maintain good mental health and to recognizethe signs of a mental disease.

Mental Health America of Wabash County providesbrochures on many mental diseases; we offer theLiving in Balance support group to help people dealwith their own or others’ mental disorders; we partnerwith Wabash County Hospital Foundation on bullyingprograms for our schools; we offer information andeducation to other local organizations such as the LifeCenter, the Autism Support Group,

Possibilities support group for families with special-needs children, and Manchester College’s Departmentof Counseling Services. We work at the local, state andnational level to reduce the stigma of mental illnessand advocate for mental wellness for all people. Wework to bring wellness home to Wabash County! When people hear of vio-

lent acts in our society, manyof them say of the perpetra-tors, “They must be crazy!”But the public perception ofmental illness and violencegoing together is not an accu-rate one, according to recentstudies.

“Mental illness alone doesnot increase the risk of vio-lence,” says Eric Elbogen,PhD, assistant professor ofpsychiatry at the Universityof North Carolina at ChapelHill School of Medicine, ref-erencing his findings pub-lished in the February 2009issue of Archives of GeneralPsychiatry.

In 2011 Dr. Seena Fazel, anOxford University psychia-trist, led extensive scientificstudies to discover if thereare links between violenceand two of the most seriouspsychiatric diagnoses-schizo-phrenia and bipolar disorder,either of which can includedelusions, hallucinations, orsome other loss of contactwith reality. Her team ana-lyzed multiple scientific find-ings and determined thatpsychiatric diagnoses do notcorrelate to a person’spropensity or motive for vio-lence.

A 2009 analysis of nearly20,000 individuals concludedthat increased risk of vio-lence was associated with

drug and alcohol problems,regardless of whether theperson had schizophrenia.Two similar analyses onbipolar patients showed,along similar lines, that therisk of violent crime is onlyfractionally increased by theillness, while it goes up sub-stantially among those whoare abuse drugs and alcohol.

In other words, it’s likelythat some of the people inyour local bar are at greaterrisk of committing murderthan your average personwith mental illness. Whilemental illness alone is not apredictor of violence, mentalillness combined with sub-stance abuse or dependencedoes increase the risk.However, the combination ofmental illness and substanceabuse-called co-morbidity-only ranked ninth on the2009 study’s list of the top tenpredictors of future violence.

The ten predictors were, inorder from most likely toleast likely were: age (youngpeople were more likely tocommit violent acts); historyof violence; gender (malescommit violence more thanfemales); history of juveniledetention; divorce or separa-tion in the past year; historyof physical abuse; parentalcriminal history; unemploy-ment in the past year; mentalillness with substance abuse;

and victimization in the pastyear.

Dr. Sally C. Johnson, co-author of the study, said,“The findings challenge theperception that some peoplehave, and which you oftensee reflected in media cover-age, that mental illness alonemakes someone more dan-gerous. Our study shows thatthis perception is just notcorrect.”

Researchers have evaluat-ed data on nearly 35,000 peo-ple, who were part of theNational EpidemiologicalSurvey on Alcohol andRelated Conditions, conduct-ed by the National Instituteon Alcohol Abuse andAlcoholism.

Philip Muskin, MD, profes-sor of clinical psychiatry atColumbia University in NewYork, says that these testresults confirm some otherstudies with similar results.He states, “Having a severemental illness alone doesn’tpredict [violent behaviors].”

Paul Appelbaum, MD, for-mer president of theAmerican PsychiatricAssociation and a professorof psychiatry at ColumbiaUniversity, says, “There is noquestion that the overall con-tribution of people with seri-ous mental illness to vio-lence in our society as awhole is quite small.”

Parentingin the

digital age

Mental illness doesn’tpredict violent behavior

disorder hate the extremes of our ill-ness, but we don’t want to becomeemotionless. Persons with majordepression, anxiety disorder, obses-sive-compulsive disorder (OCD), andother disorders also hate the lack ofcontrol over their illnesses. Manyindividuals with mental disorderscomplain that their medicationsmake them feel dull, or “thick” (thisis why so many people stop takingtheir medications).

In Roget’s Thesaurus, some syn-onyms given for balance are: equilib-rium, symmetry, proportion, andevenness. Webster’s 7th NewCollegiate Dictionary offers these def-initions for the noun balance: “anaesthetically pleasing integration ofelements: harmony; physical equilib-rium; mental and emotional steadi-ness;” and for the transitive verb bal-ance: “fluctuate, waver.” I particular-ly like the irony of those definitions.

The goal of balance seems to memore desirable than normalcy.Balance allows me to “fluctuate” and“waver” from day to day, without thefeeling that I have totally lost “equi-librium,” that I am not normal.People who live and deal with personswith mental health issues also feelthat they are “out of whack,” unableto cope from day to day with theirloved one or friend. This is the reasonthat the new name for our supportgroup is Living in Balance (LIB).Even the abbreviation implies thefreedom we can all gain by findingbalance between our illness, or ourloved one’s illness, and our daily lives.

By the way, my dictionary definesnormal as “not deviating from anorm, rule, or principle: regular;average.” I’d rather work toward“equilibrium” and “harmony” than“average.”

According to experts and people with mental illnessesstigma is still strong in our culture. People who are men-tally ill are considered “nutty,” are the butt of jokes; andbehind the laughter, there is still a note of fear: we don’twant to meet a “crazy person” or have him or her as amember of our family.

Stanton Peele, PhD, JD, wrote an article forPsychology Today magazine which presented an inter-esting addition to the discussion regarding stigma intoday’s society. He notes that in some cases, one isencouraged to use labels, and in other situations it isconsidered bad form - not PC. For instance, it is unkindfor people refer to “retarded” people or “cripples;” theyare more appropriately called people with special needs.We want to appreciate everyone as a whole person.

But in 12-step programs and many support groupspeople are asked to identify themselves by their disease.Peele says that in these situations “there is no room forpeople to say, ‘I consider myself a full-fledged, normalhuman being who has difficulties with alcohol (shop-ping, social interactions, etc.).’”

Peele points out that in the case of a mental illness,such as bipolar disorder or ADHD, a person can belabeled for the rest of his or her life. While this may helpa person obtain medical care and support, it is oftensocially and personally stigmatizing.

Peele suggests that society tacitly approves this stig-ma. He says that in films showing persons with “OCD,bipolar disorder, depression, alcoholism, you can pre-dict the scenes where people’s infirmities will becomeimpossible to ignore - life threatening - and if they vio-late the treatment precepts (e.g., if an alcoholic everdrinks again, a person with some disorder refuses theirmedication) they must go down!”

Peele asks how long our society can maintain thisdouble standard. Will we continue to define some peopleby their illnesses while we disregard the frailties of oth-ers as we aid them in becoming accepted? It is importantthat we learn to accept all people for who they are andnot see them as their particular illness.

The word stigma (plural stigmata) comes from theGreek and means “a mark of disgrace or infamy, a stainor reproach, as on one’s reputation,” according toDictionary.com.

During the Middle Ages and later, mental illness wascommonly believed to be due to moral weakness, andpeople with mental illness were treated as criminals oreven killed. A study in the Spring 2008 issue of theJournal of Counseling and Development reported thateven in the early 1970s, some people still believed that“medical illnesses were being discovered, whereas psy-chiatric illnesses were being invented.” Even today,many people believe that mental illness is somehow a

choice, rather than a disease, which reflects abnormali-ty in systems of the brain.

Stigma can prevent people who suspect they have amental disease from seeking treatment or from continu-ing treatment. The Journal of Counseling andDevelopment study states that because of the stigma ofmental illness, people can be less likely to gain employ-ment, are likely to earn less that others, may be discrim-inated against for housing, and may even face “barri-ers...in obtaining treatment services.” The study fur-ther pointed out that even some mental health profes-sionals “subscribe to the same stereotypes about mentalillness as the general public,” fear being the number oneemotion reported by mental health professionals.

The Journal of Counseling and Development alsoreported that the media is the public’s primary source ofinformation regarding mental disease, and the mediacontributes to the stigma by depicting “characters withmental illness as being two-dimensional,” that is, theyare “portrayed as physically violent ...as unpredictable,failures, asocial, incompetent, untrustworthy, and oftenas being social outcasts.” Unfortunately, many people“find characterizations of individuals with mental ill-nesses ...to be more compelling than information fromfactual sources.”

And mental health workers - psychiatrists, therapists,nurses, and counselors - are not given much respect onTV either. A report at bp Magazine’s website stated thatthere is “no shortage of television portrayals of counsel-ing,” but many of these portrayals oftenshow therapists as unethical: “sleepingwith clients, implanting false memories,and talking about their patients outside ofsessions.”

There is some good news: according toanother bp Magazine article, the CanadianCentre for Addiction and Mental Health(CAMH) reported that “among young peo-ple ... 21 percent of students in grades 7 to12 who were surveyed in 2007 reported vis-iting a mental health professional at leastonce during the past year.” In 2006, “only12 percent of students reported visits.”The researchers don’t think that mentalillness is more prevalent but that there hasbeen a reduction in stigma, “as teenswatch celebrities such as Brtiney Spears,Owen Wilson, and Amy Winehouse strug-gle” with their mental health issues.

What can we do about mental healthstigmas? Professionals can stop referringto clients as “cases” instead of people withnames. Enlist clients in making choices

and setting goals for themselves as part of their treat-ments. Teach clients self-efficacy: the belief in theircapacity to achieve specific levels of performance intheir lives.

Members of the public must be responsible for help-ing to reduce mental illness stereotypes and fosteringchange in public attitudes toward mental disease. Peoplemust “suppress stigmatizing attitudes” directly, eitherin public efforts like Mental Health Month and otherpromotions by Mental Health America, or in individualconversation. Education efforts by Mental HealthAmerica, the National Alliance on Mental Illness(NAMI), the National Institute of Mental Health(NIMH), and others are helping to destroy stigma acrossAmerica.

Person with mental diseases must become responsiblefor our own self-esteem, and must understand that theynot morally or physically responsible for their mentalillness - they didn’t wish it upon themselves and theycan’t wish it away. Everyone must acknowledge thatmental illnesses are diseases which, though not alwayscurable in the classic sense, are treatable and manage-able. There is now more direct discussion about mentalillness from college campuses to community schools,from YouTube to online blogs. It is important to educatethe public that persons with mental diseases are peoplelike themselves with feelings, cares and dreams.Working together for good mental wellness will eventu-ally erase the stigma of mental illness.

I am a dyed-in-the-wool cat lover. I have had as manyas sixteen cats and as few as one, and they have all been“my babies.” Many people are loving pet-owners withcats, dogs, birds, fish, and other animals. People have adeep and complex relationship with animals, which elic-it a wide range of emotional responses by their verypresence and interactions with human beings. Since theearly 1980s, there has been research done to determinethe therapeutic effect of interacting with animals.

According to Sandra B. Barker, Ph.D., writing in thejournal Psychiatric Times in February 1999, “animal-assisted therapy (AAT) can be traced back to the 18thcentury when hippotherapy, or therapeutic horsebackriding, was used as a medical intervention” to improve“postural control, joint disturbance, coordination andbasic balance.”

Today hippotherapy can increase feelings of powerand self-worth, as well as promoting self-confidence andsocial competence, in patients who are wheelchair-dependent. Horses are helping troubled teenagers bettercontrol their behavior, according to the Equine AssistedGrowth and Learning Association. The kids gain self-esteem from working with such a large animal, but theyalso learn to regulate their emotions so they don’t“spook” the horse.

Animals are involved in human therapy in innovativeand nontraditional ways.

“Most people think of nursing homes, and peoplegoing in to cheer up the elderly,” said Bill Kueser, vicepresident of marketing for the Delta Society, a nonprof-it group that promotes animal-assisted therapy (AAT).

“It’s really become much more than that.”Animals have become part of many types of psy-

chotherapy, physical therapy and crisis response,according to Kueser. And it’s not simply using a therapydog to calm or soothe a person, either, he said. Largeranimals also are being used in therapy. People undergo-ing physical therapy to regain motor skills essential toliving also are receiving help from animals.

“Instead of moving pegs around on a peg board, thepatient might be asked to buckle or unbuckle a leash, orbrush an animal,” Kueser said.

AAT has been tested for people with anxiety disor-ders, mood disorders, schizophrenia, psychotic disor-ders, autism, dissociative disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactive disorders and conduct disorders,Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and even post-traumaticstress disorder. Among children and the elderly resultshave been particularly promising in increasing empa-thy, self-esteem and self-concept. Pet owners have con-sistently fewer stress-related illnesses.

And the term “animal” is par-ticularly broad in AAT: cats anddogs, of course, but these resultsinclude horses, birds, fish, andrehabilitated dolphins and seaturtle. Researchers studied ver-bal and nonverbal responses ofchildren with mental disabilitiesand found “significant improve-ments in . . .cognitive responses”as well as greater and higher lev-els of responses.

Cats and parrots, for instance,are being incorporated into ther-apy for people who tend to act outbecause of aggression or impulsecontrol issues.

“The animal will stay near that person until the per-son starts upsetting the animal, and then they’ll moveaway,” he said. “The doctor then can point out the effectthe patient’s behavior had on the animal. They seem tobe able to work through aggression issues more effec-tively that way.”

One recent study found therapy dogs effective in eas-ing the anxiety of people waiting to have an MRI — andtheir help didn’t involve the side effects that oftenaccompany the use of anti-anxiety medication.

“We found that people who had spent time with a ther-apy dog were calmer during the test than those who had-n’t,” said Dr. Richard Ruchman, chairman of radiologyat Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, N.J.

Studies have been made on people with a wide rangeof conditions, not just mental illness. Pet owners showmarked decreases in cholesterol and triglycerides aswell as systolic blood pressure. Interaction with dogsalso steadies rapid breathing, reduces levels of stresshormones and increases levels of calming hormones.

The survival rates of pet owners after myocardialinfarction is greater than for non-pet owners; with con-trols for exercise, researchers in 1993 found a signifi-cantly higher survival rate at one year post-MI for petowners. Even minor health problems are less commonin those with pets.

Therapy dogs also are being incorporated into crisisrelief efforts, said Amy Rideout, director and presidentof HOPE Animal-Assisted Crisis Response, a group thatmakes therapy dogs available at crisis scenes.

HOPE was formed shortly after the 9/11 terroristattacks, when social workers found that therapy dogswere helpful in getting tough Ground Zero crisis respon-ders to open up about the toll their grisly work had been

taking on their psyches, Rideout said.“They don’t want to show stress. They want to find

their buddies,” Rideout said of the 9/11 responders.“Many knew something was wrong, but they didn’twant to talk to a mental health professional about it.”

But when a therapy dog accompanied the therapist,the crisis responders tended to open up more frequently.“The dogs made a bridge between the mental health pro-fessional and the person,” she explained.

Rideout thinks part of this has to do with the adapt-ability and portability of dogs. Dogs are easy to intro-duce into a wide variety of settings.

Other non-traditional settings also have been utiliz-ing animals to help keep people calm. Courtrooms areone example.

“There are more and more animals allowed in court,”Kueser said. “Somebody might be very upset about hav-ing to get up and testify, particularly if the person whovictimized them is there. Animals have been shown tohelp calm people down in that setting.”

Though a wide variety of animals are utilized in ther-apy work, dogs are still the “go to” animal. Dogs makeup 95 percent of the pet partner teams registered withthe Delta Society, Kueser said.

Animals provide unconditional love and acceptance,and this is important for people with mental diseases aswell as other health problems.

As someone with a mental illness, I can say that some-times in the past the only thing I have accomplished ina day is to feed and water my cats. But having themdepend on me forced me to function and thus assisted inmy efforts to attain balance. Psychologists are findingout what pet owners have known for a long time: ourpets are good for us!

Summertime and medicationsSummer is nearly here, and we’re all planning picnics, swimming, camp-

ing and grilling out. However, those of us who take psychotropic medica-tions need to be careful in the sunny summer months to guard against sun-burn and heatstroke.

Sunburn is on our minds these days, and some psychotropic meds cancause a photosensitivity reaction that increases your sunburn risk. Inaddition to always wearing sunscreen when you are out in the sun - SPF 30is strongly recommended - wear light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. If

you take medications such as Xanax, Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, Remeron, Effexor, Lamictal, orDepakote you should be careful with sun exposure.

Heatstroke, often called heat exhaustion, occurs when the body’s temperature-regulating ability iscompromised. The victim can’t sweat and is therefore unable to cool himself. Internal body tempera-tures can rise to dangerous levels and can even cause brain damage and death. It usually occurs whenthe outside temperature is unusually high. If you take medications such as Risperdal, Seroquel,Geodon, Zyprexa, Elavil, Sinequan, or Tofranil, you could be at greater risk for heatstroke. Also,beware of antihistamines such as Benadryl, Chlor-Trimeton, and Sinutab Sinus Allergy, which areusually taken by allergy sufferers.

Warning signs of heatstroke include headache, nausea and weakness, as well as dizziness and rapidbreathing. To help prevent heatstroke, drink plenty of extra fluids such as water, juice, and Gatorade,or caffeine-free soda. Avoid strenuous exercise, and don’t drink alcoholic beverages or drinks such ascola and coffee that contain caffeine.

For a more complete list of medications which may affect your tolerance to sunburn and heatstroke,check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Living in Balance support group will host a presentation by Theresa Lawyer, RN and Mary KayConsultant, about safe summer skin care, on June 19, at 7 p.m., at the Bowen Center Community Room,255 N. Miami St., Wabash. She will discuss ways to minimize sunburn risk and maintain healthy skin.

Confidentiality vital in group meetings

Confidentiality is our watchword in the Living in Balance sup-port group. We all want to feel comfortable when we talk at meet-ings. Confidentiality means that you should not repeat anything,which is said during our meetings.

You can’t tell your spouse that John was at the meeting andtalked about his depression, or tell your sister that Carol said shehad an anxiety attack at work. You can’t even say that “a persontalked about depression of anxiety.” You can say, “People in thegroup were understanding about my mental illness issues,” or“We had a presentation about dealing with relationship prob-lems.”

You can even say, “I’m not as crazy as I thought,” but you can’tsay, “I’m not as crazy as John!”

Living in Balance is all about dealing with mental illness, as itaffects us or our loved ones, with humor, empathy, and sincerity.It is very important that each of us feels safe in speaking ourminds.

By coming to group, you are sharing with others some prettyintimate thoughts and feelings, and they must remain in the set-ting of the meetings.

Confidentiality means trusting each of us to protect eachother’s privacy.

Going down the rabbit hole Joyce Burland, director of the

Education, Training and Peer SupportCenter at the National Alliance on MentalIllness (NAMI), says that when peoplehave a heart attack, the family knowswhat to do-call 911, call the doctor-but thatwhen someone starts showing signs of amental illness, like erratic or self-injuri-ous behavior, family members can feel at aloss and scared. Burland, who is also aclinical psychologist and mother of anadult daughter with schizophrenia, saysthat psychological professionals call this“going down the rabbit hole.”

Families faced with bizarre behavior oremotions, or resistance to diagnosis andtreatment, feel stigmatized by the realityof mental disease, but Burland says thatthis is a common problem in “a societythat doesn’t understand mental illnessesare biologically based disorders, just likeAlzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases.”

Burland says that families are often notfamiliar with symptoms of mental illness-es; they may not be aware that anything isabnormal or inappropriate. The personwith mental health issues may not under-

stand that this is a sickness which can betreated with medications and therapies,just like diabetes or heart disease.

Burland adds that it is difficult orimpossible under most states’ laws to havean adult hospitalized, so families have towait for a crisis, which in most statesmeans “they have become so gravely dis-abled that their life is in danger.” Burlandadds, “Then you have to call the police oryou have to call the crisis team at the hos-pital to come into your house and takeyour family member to the hospital. And... it’s one of the most traumatic eventsthat will ever happen to you.”

“Families say this is the only illness inthe world where you don’t get a covereddish,” Burland states. “People don’t call orinquire. The cultural understanding ... iseither that it’s their fault for getting ill, orit’s the fault of their family.”

It is vitally important to have compas-sion for the person with a mental illness,as well as for his or her family members. Itis crucial that society conquer the stigmaattached to mental illness. Each one of uscan and should help.
