No Longer Hopeless It was not too many years ago that the mention of mental illness would cause a shutter of fear. But that is no longer the case today, because we know that mental illness can be treated; that mental patients do recover; that mental illness is no longer hopeless. Today, medical science has a number of effecive weapons with which to attack the many different forms of mental illness. It has the tranquilizing drugs and anti-depressant drags. It has shock therapy, individual psychotherapy and group therapy. And through the use of these treatment techniques, many thousands of mentally sick people are being helped to recovery eeah month. Now medical science is faced by a new challenge—to convert these partial advances into a smashing breakthrough; to sftve, not thousands of victims of mental illness, but hundreds of thousands; to help^not only some, buit all of the children and adults suffering from the tortures of mental illness. This week_Mental Health Week—citizens of this community, and of thousands of other towns and cities through out the country, will take stock of their own famines for j helping the mentally ill, to see in what ways these facil-, ities may be expanded and improved, through p o^rams of treatment, prevention and research. Mental illness cannot be fought in the national c piital and in the state capital alone. It must be fought right in the communities where the people live. • Let us join the Virginia Association for Mental Health and the National Association for Mental Health in ther efforts to make the entire nation aware of it3 numb:r 1 health problem—mental illness—and to deal with it. Virginia Association for Mental Health, Inc. 312 West Grace Street Richmond, 20, Va.
