I can not recall if it was "DateLine" or "20/20" but they ran a story Sunday Dec 14th about how many people with mental illness are being denied treatments because some unknown "Doctor" with the insurance companies is say that they do not need the care. Oh I was so angry!!! This is one of the main reasons for the stigma that darkens mental illness in the first place. It was run on ABC, maybe you all saw it or can look it up and tell us what you think of the story. Please be warned that I cried and was very upset by this story so it will be heartbreaking to hear and see.

Jess, unfortunately this does happen alot, for a number of reason. Who knows what goes through that doctors head, perhaps the person is not a real doctor and is afraid of being caught.

What we need to do, is take the anger, transfer it into proactive steps, in our daily connections to people. With our actions and small conversations, people with learn that mental diagnosis does not mean folks are crazy.

Yes, there will always be the nay sayers. But them, Jesus, Buddah and the rest, didn't please every either. It is just not possible.

We have to be strong in our own Truth and Knowledge, it will show on the outside. People with say, "Oh, but I know someone with XXXX and they are not like that at all" Victory!

Peace
