Overcoming Mental Illness
Kay learned to control most of her depression, but mental illness never just goes away. Kay became very successful as an author and at Johns Hopkins University. Kay's story makes me think that maybe other people with mental illnesses who have struggled socially or emotionally can find resources that will help them overcome there own disorders. Between dealing with medications and other complications to life that were made to help her get over her disorder Kay started to understand even more about herself and that's what really helped her conquer her disorder. If Kay can do it, hopefully her story will inspire others to do it too.
