    Thank you, it takes a rare and special heart to take on that endeavor as a profession. Something I feel is vastly unappreciated.

  Although many think of mental illness as being trapped aren't we all trapped in our own minds imprisoned by our own thoughts and views? We may fell that we are understood and that we share more easily than others but this is just a matter of degree and no one truly gets inside us . Nicely written

    I appreciate both your comment and perspective. For me, it's been a matter of degree. I've watched my son since he was 5, when he was first diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, other issues soon followed. He was eventually diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder with depression. He's 37 years old, I cannot help but feel his sense of being trapped is a quite different perspective than other might experience. My thanks.

  It's a special kind of person with a wonderful heart who decides to become a carer, either for family or other. Highly demanding in all areas of human emotions and feelings, nicely expressed and written write
