Individuals have a biological predisposition to mental illness.  It is estimated that nearly half of all Americans have a lifetime history of at least one mental disorder or substance abuse disorder.  Today, we are more inclined to face our problems and search for solutions that will help us lead productive and fulfilling lives.  The August 2006 issue of Behavior Management Insights (source: National Alliance on Mental Illness)  lists the following famous people who also lived with mental illness:

Terry Bradshaw, a Football player:  Depression
