Dreaming of Mental Health Parity

Came across this effusive post entitled "I, Too, Have a Dream" by Therese J. Borchard whose blog Beyond Blue is one of the top blogs about Depression. Here's a quick excerpt:

I have a dream that one day I won't hold my breath every time I tell a person that I suffer from bipolar disorder, that I won't feel shameful in confessing my mental illness. I have a dream that people won't feel the need to applaud me for my courage on writing and speaking publicly about my disease, because the diagnosis of depression and bipolar disorder would be understood no differently than that of diabetes, arthritis, or dementia.


What's your dream for child and youth mental health???
