There are several websites that can be helpful for learning more about mental illness.
National Alliance on Mental Illness
www.nami.org
National Institute of Mental Health
www.nimh.nih.gov
National Empowerment Center
www.power2u.org
Please take a look at these resources, and find out what you can about such things as: mental illness, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, delusions, hallucinations, treatments, recovery.
That list is by no means meant to be exhaustive. Just use it as a jumping off point. What do you already know about these topics, and what don't you know? What surprises you?
The reason I posted this list of resources right away is because I want readers to have some understanding of what I'm writing about before I go on.
Are there any more entries? I sort of understand what you are saying and would love to read more. -Cathy (the account is under my husband's name)
