Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

[maidmarian]

I suppose that's a possibility, but I find I can't view them that sympathetically at the moment. They make me really angry!

I agree - I think with most people it is the
fear of the unknown( relative with a mental
rather than physical illness).and how it will
affect them and the family- financial as well
as emotionally and practically.

People usually have some knowledge of
physical illnesses from friends work
colleagues etc-even if they havent had the
illness themselves. Public figures now
speak about depression which should help.
I think once they know families do try to
understand and help.Sometimes those presumed
to be least likely can be most supportive.

Not sure Steves family will do that. Probably
belong to the "You need to Snap out of it "
brigade. Which there are still some(hopefully
few).around.
Hope the story continues to prompt discussion.
