There are scientists all around the world looking for the genes responsible for bipolar illness and major depression Picture Quote #1

Stripped of all their masquerades, the fears of men are quite identical: the fear of loneliness, rejection, inferiority, unmanageable anger, illness and death Picture Quote #1

Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness Picture Quote #1

People with mental health problems are almost never dangerous. In fact, they are more likely to be the victims than the perpetrators. At the same time, mental illness has been the common denominator in one act of mass violence after another Picture Quote #1

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it takes a wake-up call, doesn’t it, to alert us to the fact that we’re hurrying through our lives instead of actually living them; that we’re living the fast life instead of the good life. And I think, for many people, that wake-up call takes the form of an illness Picture Quote #1

Any illness is a direct message to you that tells you how you have not been loving who you are, cherishing yourself in order to be who you are. This is the basis of all healing Picture Quote #1

... had always taken for granted that the whole world was in a state of constantly fluctuating madness, and that a neurosis was not an illness, but a fact of life, like pimples Picture Quote #1

Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will Picture Quote #1

Early diagnosis is so important because the earlier a mental illness can be detected, diagnosed and treatment can begin, the better off that person can be for the rest of his or her life Picture Quote #1

My good fortune is not that I’ve recovered from mental illness. I have not, nor will I ever. My good fortune lies in having found my life Picture Quote #1

It’s very painful to love someone who is wrestling with either an addiction or a mental illness because you want the best for them. And it seems so hard, and it’s frustrating Picture Quote #1

Once and for all, people must understand that addiction is a disease. It’s critical if we’re going to effectively prevent and treat addiction. Accepting that addiction is an illness will transform our approach to public policy, research, insurance, and criminality; it will change how we feel about addicts, and how they feel about themselves. There’s another essential reason why we must understand that addiction is an illness and not just bad behavior: We punish bad behavior. We treat illness Picture Quote #1

When illness enters a home, not only does it take hold of a body. It also weaves a dark web between hearts, a web where hope is trapped Picture Quote #1

We live in bodies that are fearfully and wonderfully made, yet they are not immune to illness and pain. We have hearts that are capable of experiencing great love, but sometimes they get broken Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen people recover physical abilities, yet never get over emotional trauma after a serious accident. I’ve seen other people overcome the psychological and emotional trauma of a serious illness even though they may never fully regain their physical capabilities. Which is the greater healing? Which is the better recovery? If I had the option of choosing between a mediocre life with eyesight or the life I have today, even though I am blind, I’d stay blind and keep the life I have Picture Quote #1

It is human nature to look away from illness. We don’t enjoy a reminder of our own fragile mortality Picture Quote #1

Occupying my mind with complex problems has been my best and most powerful and most reliable defense against my mental illness Picture Quote #1

Yet birth, and lust, and illness, and death are changeless things, and when one of these harsh facts springs out upon a man at some sudden turn of the path of life, it dashes off for the moment his mask of civilization and gives a glimpse of the stranger and stronger face below Picture Quote #1

I am part of what she thinks is her illness, a symptom of which she thinks she has been cured. She, on the other hand, is what I was looking for Picture Quote #1

Does a sick society get so used to its illness that it can’t remember being well? what if the memory is too dangerous for the people who like things the way they are? Picture Quote #1
