Another of the good points of this forum is that we have people from a range of different backgrounds and so we can get to hear the points of view of people who know about mental health issues from first hand experience.
I know of some of them from second hand experience - one of my relatives is bipolar, one of my friends has severe OCD and another friend committed suicide due to depression - but to get to the point... I think it's incredibly helpful to hear from members here who know about these things from personal experience, I think it gives us a more balanced view of such things as the "trigger" issue.
I know that people are sometimes reluctant to talk about such things but it is helping some of us understand so thanks for sharing your insight and experiences.
