[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how people give up on their "loved ones" over a disease. If it were cancer-would you give up? Mental illness is a disease, not a choice end the stigma [/quote] If the spouse with cancer refused to follow medical advice, refused to stop smoking, or refused chemotherapy, or radiation treatment, or did work with me to get help at home for when they needed to be out of the house for treatment or at home but unable to help with the house/kids? So yes, mental health is a disease, just like cancer is a disease. You say "if it were cancer--would you give up?" but what if the person with the disease has given up. Is the partner supposed to do it for them 100%? That's not possible, or reasonable. My partner is diagnosed with clinical depression and type II diabetes. Some days/ weeks are better than others, but partner has shown a true long term commitment to working on both, and because of that, I'm happy to stay and support them.[/quote]
