Mental illness is common. About 1 in 3 people will have a mental health problem at some point in their life. These problems range from mild to severe. There is a chance that someone you know and love will have a mental health problem at some time.
If that happens, what do you do? How do you deal with it? Can you help?
Think about it for a second.

It might give you some help. I hope you are never in that situation because it is difficult.
Remember, you can always get help.

Hi,
I just thought about it for a bit and thought that it was worthwhile. It's something you never expect. People don't like to talk about it and it is difficult. Very, very difficult.
Side-point - very interested in comic blog writing. Will get in touch soon. Work very busy at present.
