Kudos for the excellent April 29 article, “Unraveling a Cruel Mystery of the Mind,” about the Hollister family’s experience with one of the most serious and debilitating illnesses known to man, schizophrenia. The Hollisters’ contributions, both through the research work of their daughter Meggin and parents Patsy and Hal’s fund-raising for the national Alliance for Research of Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD Artworks), are an inspiration.
Readers can find out more about supporting brain research through the purchase of these beautiful cards by writing NARSAD Artworks at P.O. Box 941, La Habra, 90633, or calling (800) 607-2599.
There are so many families that have been affected by serious and persistent mental illness that the Alliance for the Mentally Ill (AMI) has 17 family support group affiliates in Los Angeles County. Families needing help can call AMI at (213) 413-1622 for information.
