I found National Shattering Silence Coalition after my son, who has schizoaffective disorder, attempted to kill his own father.

The NAMI chapter put me in touch with National Shattering Silence.

And ever since then, I felt like the most support I've ever had with my son's illness, which he's been battling since 17 years old, and now he's 23. So it was as if I had a partnership.

Laura Craciun: A Son's Mental Illness and a System That Failed Him

So I've been medicated from age 30 when I was diagnosed after my two sons were born and have stayed on medications gratefully because I know how much they work.
