Danielle Steel urges Spears' parents to keep fighting : "Speaking on the 10th anniversary of the creation of the Nick Traina Foundation, which funds groups who do 'hands on' work with mentally ill young people, Steel said Spears problems 'illustrate the drama and dilemma of the family of mentally ill people in this country - it's a very, very tough thing.'"
Oh well said. We are so bad at recognising mental illness and the behaviour is often extreme, ill conceived and newsworthy. We need to stop putting these young ones in the news and start opening our hearts and brains. They need to be in treatment , not the news and Danielle Steel is magnificent for confronting her own personal pain and trauma and trying to make the lessons she has learned help others. We really have to lift our game so that people get help rather than lampooning or early demise.
