    Wow. I wouldn't have the courage to work in that field.
    Obviously one needs to be a very special person to do that
    sort of work and be specially trained as well.

    Before my mom met my dad she was training to become a nurse.
    There was one elderly patient that she grew very attached to
    who had severe mental difficulties. My mom helped this lady
    out tremendously and when the lady passed away my mother was
    so distraught that she gave up nursing.

    I have an aunt (my mothers sister) who suffers from severe
    mental disabilities and has spent many years in and out of
    mental institutions. My family has dealt first hand with the
    trauma of seeing a loved on go through the heartache of mental
    problems. It's not fun. I love this lady dearly, she is one
    of my favourite people in the world and yet when she is off
    her medication (bi-polar) the world just goes insane for her
    and for the rest of us who populate her world. She is co-
    morbid, meaning she has another diagnosis, that of schizoid
    affective disorder. I'm posting a link if you're interested.
