New paradigm in town
"The new paradigm, mental health recovery, has had a boost back in 2003 with the President's Commission on Mental Health. But I am more used to the recovery concept while watching people grow out of dependence ....from drugs or alcohol. That was my job since 1994, to promote quitting and staying quit.
Can recovery also happen to people with other mental illness? Or is it that there is no such thing as mental illness, like Thomas Szasz used to say?
