This weeks STP is slightly different. We initially reached out to Denise because of her article 'I Thought I Understood My Daughter's Mental Illness, But I Had No Idea' from the, US based, National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMA). You can read the article here... I Thought I Understood My Daughter's Mental Illness, But I Had No Idea | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness.
On many levels the interview became a free-flowing discussion about caring for a person with Mental Illness whilst having been diagnosed with Mental Illness yourself. Poignant and heartfelt, Denise's story is in turn heartbreaking and funny, but always told with the compassion and wisdom of a brave Mum doing her best.
