• A Few Words From Your Sponsor

  

  Hi! I'm David. And I'm incredible. A while back, during a compliment-gone-hilarious someone once told me that I was THE Incredible D-A-V. My guess is that Dave was the intended destination for that little name-game, but as I never liked the name Dave, Dav stuck.

  I'll write about all sorts of stuff in this blog, probably only 1/3 of it will be of any interest at any given time. Keep coming back...we'll see what we can find out about each other.

Whatadifference.org serves a noble purpose: to educate friends and family on the best way to offer non-professional support to loved ones with mental illnesses.

I’m taking issue with a semantic issue on their website. In both their written material and in their scripted video segments, they use the phrase “work through [their] recovery”. Working through recovery implies a convenient process for a total recovery which is biologically impossible. I would think that “work through [their] diagnosis and management” would be more accurate.
