As someone who has seen the strongest person in my life be hospitalized with psychotic depression I have a new found respect for mental illness. It has been 3 years that my father has been battling and at times I thought he would never be able to leave the hospital again. Now seeing him interact with my daughter and seeing the genuine joy in his face that she brings him makes me thankful about the support he has received from Alberta Health but I know with more awareness there will be more post treatment options to help him and others continue to cope with the disease after they leave the hospital.
