I recieved your package in the mail today and logged onto this site and couldn't believe my eyes when the Virginia Tech massacre was the first thing I read that was blogged about. Sometimes God takes a hand! I attended Virginia Tech for five simesters, but that was starting back in 2000, before the terrible tragidy. After reading the article, I was touched! I couldn't agree more. I believe strongly that the stigma is still very much previlant and people need to be more understanding of mental illness. Like the article said, if you have the flu, you do something about it, right? I also know that is chemical and people with it need to be treated as soon as possible. Well, I will stop rambling, but the treatment I recieved at Menninger, along with dedication, strong family support and very hard work, I am doing exceptionally well. I know many patients go to Menninger and you would have to look up my file to remember me, but I will never forget Dr. Katko and everyone else that helped me survive! Thanks again. Michelle L. Hello,
