It saddens, frustrates and disappoints me that with all the promotional awareness media about mental health issues, it is still impossible for some people to comprehend the complexity of it. Yes, it might just be the individual suffering the symptoms, but the domino effect is far reaching and deserves an intense support system for them to have any hope of getting through it and to a stable place in their lives and in their heart and soul. There are no quick fixes. It is a sometimes long and slow journey that they cannot take on their own. It is a combination of them taking the first step of recognition of a problem and seeking professional medical help. We have to be understanding and patient without that snap out of it, youll be right attitude, be firm with the principles of their recovery but withhold our frustrations when they stray off the track. We need to show empathy, but recognise when we may be being emotionally manipulated, but most of all they need desperately to know that we will be there come what may, because if they feel they have nothing to fight for, then they really do feel that there is no point. The most beneficial medicine is Hope. Please think twice before you judge someone who may think or act different to what you do, they do not always have control over their emotions and how you react to them could mean the difference between their success or failure.
