Redefinition of Mental Illness by the British Psychological Society

Two months ago, the British Psychological Society released a remarkable document entitled “Understanding Psychosis and Schizophrenia.”  This document describes mental illness as caused, not only by brain deficits, but also by abuse, deprivation, inequality, and other social experiences. Mental illness thus requires social and psychotherapeutic interventions, not just pills.
Here's a New York Times article on the subject.

Sacred

She says that her mother died of cancer when she was seven.   

Her father committed suicide a few months later.   

“He couldn’t live without her.”

Tears fill her eyes.

She weeps in silence.

One tear rolls down her cheek.

Then another one.

I say nothing.

This silence is sacred.

Who am I to break it?
