At last it looks as though the English Government are going to take Mental Illness seriously and the new reforms to the NHS will take this into account.

For many years I have suffered from visual and auditory hallucinations, night terrors, and sleep paralysis and have even acted out nightmares while sleep walking (issuing a knife to carve into my chest).

I have been doing some research on the internet about epilepsy and mental illness and what I have read is that there are a lot of similarities in the formation of the brain between the two - does this mean that a person who has epilepsy is more likely to suffer from some sort of mental illness - also many of the anti seizure medications are being used / the professionals have found that they also work as mood stabalizers, is this true.

Yep - you don't talk about it. When you do, even though, by law under Disablilities Act, you are still going to scare those uneducated people about the illness. I agree also, that if we had cancer, it would be - not easier - but employers are more understanding. When we have days that are hard because we have been up for 3 days, it's not easily understandable.

I was just wondering if grace is something people feel or strive towards when recovering from mental illness. Strange question but I seem to be so willful or forceful regarding my health and recovery and I was wondering if people experience mental illness as a positive thing (outside personal growth and development). Do many people sit back and accept diagnosis and treatment and life graciously? (We probably wouldn't be depressed if we did would we??

I have been taking cymbalta(60mg) and wellbutrin (200mg) daily for 3 years. I decided I was tired of taking it, it didn't seem to be helping me anymore, and I was tired of the expense. I quit wellbutrin cold turkey about a 5 days ago and I quit cymbalta cold turkey 3 days ago. I now feel like I am losing my mind. I have been feeling and acting somewhat manic. I have felt kind of 'hi' and actually like it.

Mental illness skips the men in my family. Myself, my mother, my grandmother, and my great grandmother all suffered from depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. Up until I found out I was pregnant I was debating on whether or not I would ever want kids because the risk posed to them. Now that I am pregnant I'm extremely excited. Even if my baby gets ill in the future, who better to handle it than me! Takes one to know one I guess, ha. I'm sure everything will be fine.

None of my friends are at the point in life i am so i have lost friends because im pregnant, but that doesnt really bother me i would choose my baby over anyone. But as far as mental illness i would talk to my doctor about the illness and that you want to have a baby. I know being pregnant has made me crazy and ive never had mental issues. Hormones make you super emotional.

I started saying to myself why am I going though this and not other people? Am I mentally ill? My fear of having (ocd/any mental illness including anxiety disorders) which made me have panic attacks then I was ignoring the panic attacks and never had it again. First week from 20/1/15 was rough, then slowly the feelings started to go away and it's nothing except thoughts about this - Will everyone have anxiety about health if they are worried about it?

It is certainly that during your illness you have a fever that let your delusion. Because of your lifelong anxiety and shyness you are predisposed to that kind of depersonalization experience.

While epilepsy is not considered a mental illness, it does have something in common with mental illnesses. That is, the meds that are prescribed are often intolerable to the patients, who are often of high intelligence and the drugs fog their brains. While they don't like their sx, the side effects of the drugs are the greater of two evils for them. Once off medication, which happens all too often, the tragedies occur, with young lives being lost far too early.
