[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1044248, member: 7261"] That's because very few would have read an article that was titled "Doubs needed a break for his mental health." Sadly, mental health has been and still is a TABOO with so many people. I grew up with a mother that was diagnosed as "bipolar" from a very young age. She went through all of the now banned psych meds in the 70's, electro therapy, dozens of doctors, etc. For 90% of her life, she was the happy, "normal" person that so many people loved and hung out with. However, whenever she went into a deep depression or a manic binge of flying around the world, most of her friends and some of her family ran away and didn't want to have anything to do with her. Why? They didn't know how to act around her, they didn't know what she would do, they were afraid and sadly misinformed that she was "crazy", it was work to be with her. I never really held any of them accountable, nor did I blame them, it is what society has taught us, fear mental illness. I have never viewed mental illness as being much different than a diabetic, a person with chronic arthritis, eye issues, etc. It's simply a part of the body not working correctly, but since it is the brain, it scares many. I could ramble on, but I just hope Doubs has a lot of support and that whatever he may be going through, helps others to learn more about the health of our brain and what is required to maintain its health.
