I for one thank you so much for your piece on mental illness, I have had to deal with depression since I was a little girl and I had therapy since 77 and until afew yrs ago, at times I didn't think I would recover from the abuse I indured in my life, I applaud you for doing something that should have been done YEARS AGO, I believe it would have saved alot of people who were in pain, I gained so much from therapy and now I can cope, manage, deal with any issues that pop up, we need more conversations about it, thank you, dia
