Our first question for carers:
As a Friend, Family or Carer, if you could give one piece of advice to

I would say
Let them know they are not their condition. They are more than the condition and are very important and very loved just as they are.

Here is our second prompt as part of this discussion:
Share a book, movie, or song that has had a positive impact on your relationship with your loved one and explain why.

@tyme my greatest advice to anyone with mental health conditions would be seek help as soon as possible, the longer you leave it the harder it is to recover. as someone who has had mental health issues for 30+ years and never seeked help my life could have been so so different.
