With Mental Illness, You Won't Get a Casserole

I am an editor for a living. But I am an advocate for mental health as a passion. This is the first of a series of articles I am writing for Life At The Intersection, the brainchild of Terri Lyon, author of the book What's On Your Sign?: How to focus your passion and change the world. I was proud to edit this book and its companion workbook.

Please comment to share your feelings and experiences with mental illness.

My November Guest Blog Post on NAMI.org

Once again, I am proud to have an article posted on the website of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). This one is my reflection on my late mother, whose adult life was adversely affected by depression. I understand

her struggles better now; I wish these realizations had come to me sooner.
