Re: My Visit to Mental Ward....

I have had great success describing my illness as being a neurological disorder. I describe how it creates chronic fatigue and affects my ability to read, learn, and remember. I sometimes add that it affects mood as well, but not always. When they ask what the name of the disorder is, I respond that it is affective disorder. If I feel that the person I am speaking to has understood what I was saying, and I feel they are not too judgmental, I make it a point to reveal that affective disorders include depression and bipolar disorder. My goal all along is to convert one more person. It is my attempt to abolish the stigma of mental illness. I've been doing this for over 20 years. My batting average is well over 500.
