Then one day Holly swallowed all the pills in the house.

Portland State University recently conducted a survey of how kids, aged 8-18, perceive mental illness.

"Results show that youth expect that a child with depression or ADHD is more likely than a classmate with asthma to be socially shunned...Youth on the surveys indicated that if they thought they had depression, they would most likely talk to a friend, talk to their parents and pray."

pray?
