These people are wonderful!!! I know there's a multitude of possibilities for more conditions than I can think of! But, this is the "National Mental Health Association of America".... I might have been "lucky", but .... ( and I am definitely appreciative)... to have found the people there, that I did
... had I known about this earlier,
.... they could have probably save me a lot of pain and suffering!!! Sometimes everything can go wrong in your life, ... and it's not necessarily your fault- I got caught in a fire, had a nervous breakdown, my mother died,
... and well!!! I'm glad I found them
