A good friend of mine, Bryson McCrone,* is very open about his own struggles with mental illness, and when I asked what he wished people knew about it, he said, “I want people to know that there is help and that you can be okay again . . . no matter what forces may stand against you (friends, family, your own brain), fight like hell to get the help you need. Just because it is in your head doesn’t make it any less real than a broken bone.”
