MENTAL HELP
I've long believed the system is incapable of restoring itself | Systems are, like any bureaucracy, inherently wedded the idea of its own continuance, lofty objectives and mission statements notwithstanding |
Yet, simultaneously, I've also believed that people who are suffering with what our society and culture deems as "mental illness" still need ways to ameliorate their suffering and come to grips with the mental conflagration inside |
Not convinced that, as some suggest, that "...there ain't no such thing..." calls for seeking answers, or ~ at the very least ~ thougful deliberations on these subjects | So I, with caution do, thing it warrants pointing out these two sites as stepping stones in the quest for answers to facilitate recovery from disability psychiatrically recognized clinical disorders | Click on either of the two logos attached to this posting for more on Mental Help Net and for Metapscyhology, ano online bookseller on material related to mental illness, psychic rifts, trauma, and recovery | Perhaps there's something on the sites [I've only casually looked around] and what I've found thus far, while general, seems more fair in discussing the many components of the larger problems faced when dealing with cognitive and perceptual impairments [really, I'm trying hard not to use the phrase "mntal illness"] that other sites like this that I've looked at in the past | ¶ 23:46
