Don't take your own anger and feelings of helplessness out on them. Build something together, go places, grow things, surf the net, make plans, make commitments. But most of all, be patient. Sincerely, Michael Irwin A Letter From Cait's Uncle Dear Reader, Getting Cait's book into your hands has been a family effort and we hope you've benefited from it in some way. Cait's message is simple and real.
Mental illness is no different than physical illness.
There should be no stigma. Becoming mentally ill can happen to any of us at any time, it's like coming down with pneumonia or, in a milder form, a common cold. Cait's story has also brought a strong measure of hope to many. And with hope, anything is possible. We also know that her personal victory is not a singular one.
