Thanks to Peter Mansbridge and his story on Insurance Contracts and Suicide, my blog over the past couple months has turned to a story of Mental Illness. This story was timely for me, since I am watching a person I love battle with Mental Illness. I was hoping to get a better understanding of what my friend was going through, so I read Margaret Trudeau’s book “Changing My Mind” which spoke to her struggles with Mental Illness. The Globe and Male described the book “Changing My Mind follows Margaret Trudeau’s stormy passage from ingénue to depressive and beyond, and the stations in between”. I don’t know if I am any closer to understanding Mental Illness since I believe it effects everyone differently.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was on The Social talking about how his life was affected by Mental Illness and the family support required to assist his Mom.
I am very fortunate to live the life I do and I give thanks for both my physical and mental health daily.
Next week my Blog will once again involve Justin Trudeau, but it will be on the Universal Drug Plan that the Liberals are working on.
