    It is quite inspiring when you see someone succeed in beating his/her mental illness. It shows that the illness is curable.

    Yeah I watched the documentary and the guy was really inspiring. His brother suffered as well and he committed suicide so this guy made a huge effort to recover and he did.

    Damn I always dislike hearing about suicides . That must have made this guy's condition even worse and yet he still managed to overcome it.

    Very hard to overcome because the causes are physical too

    Beat & Cured - Sigh oh Sigh ... what's on this gravy train?

    I find Titles like that somewhat demeaning and undermines people who are otherwise simply living or experiencing elements of their lives in ways that are problematic for them, or at least less than fully satisfactory. A view that allows for normality rather than a suggestive title that imply how sick others really be.

    No doubt such drama gets a lot of hits.

    How about:
    How to experience more positive elements to overcome a less than satisfactory existence!!!

    Hmmm does not quite sound so dramatic enough ... perhaps the exclamations marks might pull in some hits?

    I would actually click that link feeling a little more hopeful and less implicated as to being ill. The other link I rarely click and if I did, it would be thinking "here we go again, I wonder what's on this gravy train - will this be the one? Sigh of Sigh"

    No doubt shared in good will.

    TY.
