Irene joined Jamie West on 900 CHML to discuss Mental Health Week!!
Irene had the opportunity to see Victoria Maxwell's "tour-de-force" one-women show.
"Crazy For Life" is a show which has a compelling look at experiencing, surviving and coming to terms with mental illness. The show both entertains, educates and explores stigmas and revealing glimpses of one face of psychiatric illness. But the play is a celebration of the richness of life, the strength of the human spirit and the power of the human heart.

Irene discussed the effects of Bi-Polar, usually not diagnosed till later in life, teens or beyond.
The recovery and importance of one's own acceptance and the empowerment of healing.
To trust in the health care providers and for individuals and families to move easily and willingly into unfamiliar and sometimes frightening territories to make the necessary changes for recovery. Full remission from symptoms is possible, and the opportunity to live a full rich life.
