This is a really important insight and so positive and hopeful for people who struggle with mental illness. I like your contention that all symptoms are a form of communication, and that everyone can recover with enough patience and care. Have you ever read the book Agnes' Jacket? I did some time ago and it still stays with me. It has a similar perspective. I think I will read it again. Thank you for bringing your profound thinking on this topic to Fourth Wave. As you know, I have a son with a major mental illness. I read each of your stories very closely and they all hit home for me.
