This is an extremely long, but extremely well-written article about the state of mental health care in the U.S., written by a woman whose schizophrenic cousin killed his own father. Her Aunt was also schizophrenic. Her family's pesonal story is very poignant. I had to share here because I knew so many could relate to this.
