In reply to request for a recovery board?, posted by johnLA on August 24, 2013, at 18:14:06
> i was wondering if the idea of a board could be established about recovery/remission from a mental condition?

> i know your site caters to difficult cases and that you have posted a few success stories, but i think a board dedicated to people who got back to 'life' after mental health issues would be absolutely inspiring and life-saving for some of us.

> i might be naive. but, i am entering my 3rd year of depression and it seems like 'they' hide the people that get well. ;) in some ways i believe that if my doctors introduced me to somebody who walked down a similar dark path as i am and came-out to see the light again, it would make a greater impact than all the meds and talk. no doc has done that for me.

> again, maybe this is not a reality for a place like this. but, surely there are people who have beaten depression, etc? i guess i am suggesting a board of hope; regardless of how ignorant i may seem to many here.I think it's an interesting idea. As does Phillipa. What do others think?
