I took a quick peek at the article and knew I had to return (after a quick comment here) to read the whole thing when she started out by acknowledging “the epidemic of mental illness” that’s going on in the world today.

I’ve been calling it an epidemic for years and have only received the tired old “but you see the world through the eyes of your depression” in response. Thank you so much for providing such a great link!
