Join the National Alliance for Caregiving, Mental Health America, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness for a briefing on the new report on caregivers for adults with mental illness, including schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder (among others). We invite you to join the discussion!
Nice to see you, firemonkey, I was a bit worried that the new system might be a bit too separate for my tastes!
It was a lot of good information. Mostly focused on a poll regarding different needs of those suffering from mental illness. Medical needs, services avilable, services needed. Educating the care giver. It talked about how long it can take sometimes for a proper diagnosis and then the challenges of finding the right meds and the right dose. I was hoping for more information on coping skills for the caregiver. It was good information but more of a scientific study.
