I think the more that people with MI are open & talk about it, absolutely the better.
A few months ago, my son & I went to a HUGE event being held for Mental Health Awareness Week.
The main speaker was Bill MacPhee, a man with Schizophrenia who is also the founder of a major Schizophrenia magazine, Schizophrenia Digest.
The link to info about him & the magazine is below. Bill MacPhee was the main speaker & BOY was he good. It was totally amazing to have him up there on the stage telling his whole story!!!

It was a wonderful event. There was also art work there dealing with mental illness & photos also.
