There often appears to be a thin line between insanity and sanity especially to those who are suffering from mental health conditions. This is because those that are sick truly don’t understand what is occurring in their head. It might seem odd to those that do not have these health issues but ask yourself when did it occur to you that your eye site or hearing got worse. Now add to that the tendency of denial due to the stigma of society and how triggers can make a person feel as if they have a sane reason to act the way they do and you can understand how this line can be blurred. Here below are some that this line can be more easily seen and hopefully help those that might be suffering.
