"Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan." I am currently working on a documentary about mental illness. I have never been diagnosed with one, but have known some very remarkable people who have, so when asked to do a documentary on the subject I jumped at the chance. By dispelling the taboo power of mental illness, we hope to dissipate the denial and shame surrounding the subject. We want to improve the quality of public discourse about the subject of mental illness, and step up the ensuing search for answers. "THE PRODUCERS"
