> Nothing is wrong with having mentally ill friends, but I think it is unusual to say "all" my friends are mentally ill. And I wondered if that affected your perspective, since at times you can be very harsh and judgmental.
While not all my friends are mentally ill amoung those that are, treatment is very sucessful. This
supports my view that everyone can get better, at least to some point. I also do work with disabled persons who have significant physical problems. I have not found that negativity and and an attitude that the system does not work ever helps
one get better. I agree that the system could be better but it does work.james
