Recovery from mental health problems happens in a society of acceptance. Friends can make all the difference by just being there and offering support, friendship, strength and acceptance. Through "What a Difference a Friend Makes" Contest, we've asked people to share their meaningful stories about friends helping another through recovery from mental health problems or during a particularly hard time in their lives. This is the contest winner. This video was submitted by Francesca from Pennsylvania and it shows the importance of having a friend during the hardest times.

My book, entitled: The Seen But Forgotten: An Insight into Mental Illness and the Dangers of Current Psychiatric Practice, has recently been published in paperback by www.chipmunkapublishing.com, the mental health publisher (UK). It is available to purchase online at chipmunkapublishing.co.uk as well as from www.Amazon.com and www.fishpond.com.au. My book has been written based on nearly twenty years of personal experience of mental illness, 'schizoaffective disorder', as well as on many of my observations and other ideas, and related research on mental illness. It is based also on my observations of many of my friends and associates with mental illness, over the years, and their stories and experiences relayed to me. It describes some insights into some of the thoughts and feelings one can experience in certain states of mental illness. It also offers an overview of both known and other hypothetical considerations of some of the possible causes of mental illness; and includes some consideration of the medical model of the more current psychiatric practice of 'chemical drug therapy'. The dangers and error of this practice is emphasized, and exposed are some of the serious and early death-inducing side-effects of most anti-psychotic medications, the dangers associated with the misuse of benzodiazapines, and why there is a need for more research in new directions in order for psychiatrists, researchers and driug companies to come up with safer treatments.
