We Are Adult Survivors of Child Abuse and Neglect

I am launching my blog today because the issues affecting tens of millions of adult survivors of child abuse and neglect are, for the most part, ignored and not addressed by the American public, the government or the media. It is a national shame and a disgrace.

It seems like most of the coverage about mental health disorders in the media these days is primarily presented by pharmaceutical companies in their desire to sell pills. And the main ones discussed are those affecting people diagnosed with Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and Autism. Research gives us a more accurate picture of both the scope of mental illnesses and the major disorders affecting Americans.
