"I not only find the newsletters informative, I have also found them very hopeful. I may not (and probably won't) benefit from this wonderful research, but I would do anything to ensure even one person never having to experience mental illness to the degree that I have suffered.....Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to further your studies.....I would do whatever I could to help. It was an honor for me when I helped before.....Keep up the good work. I admire all of you!" - January 2001
