Mental illness runs in my family between my Mom and Brother. They both suffer from chronic massive depression. They both are on medication for their ailments but it is really tough for the only person in the family that deals with both of them on a regular basis and have to deal with the ups and downs that depression entails.

I live several hours away from both family members and it keeps me away from the mental chaos at times. It is really hard dealing with them sometimes but patience is a virtue. It comes and goes. I would say with anyone dealing from the outside looking in, just be patient and try and understand that mental illness is a disease that many cannot control.
