Blogs that deal with mental illness

A few weeks ago I posted about blogs that write about mental illness over at my personal blog.

I'd like to paraphrase from that here and simply say that we each have friends and family dealing with these issues in our lives. Maybe even ourselves.

I tend to believe that blogs that deal with mental illness are some of the most courageous you can find. The fact that one of the best is published by a fellow Philadelphian is reason to share it here.

Here are two favorites:

The Trouble With Spikol: Ran by executive editor of the Philadelphia Weekly, Liz Spikol documents her fight against her illness and her takes on all matters that strike her to write.

Furious Seasons: Ran by a journalist, and psych patient Philip Dawdy, Furious Seasons wrestles with the ongoing, terrible state of psychiatric care.
