I'm an avid swing dancer, a proud Minnesotan by birth, and I've got a soft spot for Boston. I love anything British, used bookstores, and delicious smells emanating from the kitchen.

One mother's story of her depression

I wanted to share the Washington Post's story from a mother dealing with mental illness with you all. It is incredibly touching. And a great example of how a mother creatively lives with depression every day. Inspiring.

It also, however, brings up some very unfortunate but all too true prejudices about mental illness found even within the medical community. Even among behavioral health providers. (Shame on that psychiatrist!) If we can't trust our own doctors and psychiatrists,  where are we supposed to turn???
