I experienced mental illness for years but it took something huge to make me eventually open up. It was no longer my choice to talk, it was unavoidable. I wish I had disclosed my problems sooner and had control over when the truth came out about my mental health. Just as it’s never too late to talk, it’s never too early either.
Last night’s episode of The Accused approached the issue of the mental health of 17 year old Stephen, who began experiencing symptoms of psychosis after losing his mother to cancer.
