Default your delusional disorder

Dear BJ,
I just watched the episode again -- ABC.com

Violet talks to the patient at one point and refers to
"your delusional disorder." -- like you said in your post.

The stupid writers made up an illness. This is why I am irked.
Or if they did not exactly make up one -- they were very vague -- so vague that it doesn't exist.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=


I did write a letter to the writers of the show via the show's web site and said that I was unhappy about how they portrayed mental illness. They should stick to a real illness and its real horrors.

I pointed out that they had done a disservice to mentally ill people.

I got back an automated email reply.

Maybe I will try to write a snail mail letter if I can find the address. But I also need to let this go soon.

Mari
