My mascot would be my mother who lived with mental illness in the earlier era you described. She was treated abominably and impacted her and our family for the rest of our lives. Thank you for writing this article. I hope that it will continue to be the case that people will understand, empathize, and seek to provide assistance to those with mental health issues. It’s difficult to know what will happen as a new administration takes office in the United States.
