Just found this and while I agree its great to get people help and not write them off, I was annoyed at how in an effort to destigmatise they glossed over all the damage. I was especially annoyed how the ' carer' father didn't even address the impact his wife's illness affected his children, or even himself. He was suicidally depressed and he just waves right past it. Who was supporting him, besides the doctor?

"Suppose it didn't," said Pooh, after careful thought.
Piglet was comforted by this.
