This is what happens to the brain of those living with mental illnesses (more accurately, “brain illnesses”). The brain does not function as it should; life is out of control. The brain alters our bodies; thoughts are distorted, emotions are unregulated, and behaviors we once thought could never occur happen. One of the most challenging, exhausting, and painful phenomena we do as humans is to live and survive with these changes in our minds. The toll it takes on an individual’s body and the people in their lives is, tragically, often too much to bear.-Dr. Daniel J. Reidenberg
