| As a person who has taken responsibility for a mental illness that I have had for the past 20 years, one of my most trusted relationships is the one with my psychiatrist. Actively seeking treatment, adhering to a medication regime and continuous psychotherapy has provided me with a quality of life and healthy relationships with my family and friends.
I can say this with confidence now, after coming out the other end of a six-year custody battle in both the family and federal magistrate’s court.
Just one sentence in the courtroom at the beginning of proceedings destroyed so much: “Your Honour, the mother has a history of mental illness”.
