The more I accepted I had a mental illness the less it defined me. That is the most beautiful comment I've heard ❤

fantastic book; brilliant woman

The right to refuse treatment is such a fine line though. I agree with it but again my sister doesn't have the opportunity some have had with good mental health care here in Tennessee? What would you suggest for us? I struggle with BPD and the mental health care here is very poor.
