Today I read that Heather Locklear admitted herself for treatment of aniexty and depression.
I am sad for her because a private issue is now so very public. On the other hand, I am thankful that so many (Britney Spears, Owen Wilson, Sheryl Crow, Jane Pauley..and many others) challenges are public because I feel in some small way it helps to humanize mental illness and promote treatment.
So many of us, and our difficult child's, try to hide it because people will think we are dangers or weird.
Maybe someday things will change....I am hopeful
