I have seen a lot posted on mental illness since Robin Williams took his life. I have seen some remarks that are so idiotic I couldnt believe it.One in particular was that if a person does not have faith and they have sinned this is their burden to carry. Well I know for a fact mental illness has to do a lot with chemical imbalance in the brain. I suffered with it mildly in my 20s and now for the last 14 years quite severely, I deal with irrational fears every day,afraid to leave my home,afraid of crowds,afraid of a lot of noise all at once and many more symptoms.This bout with it started because my husband died in my arms and escalated from there. So if it is because of a sin then why did he die for my sin? Be real people.Do some research.Understand what you are talking about before you start speaking.People with mental illness can be very hurt by unkind words and no compassion or understanding.
