This is a pretty interesing issue for me to ponder.

I'm not giving care (yet, at least), but I do have to live with my parents, one of whom who suffers from psychiatric illnes -- Mom suffers from anxiety and panic disorders (and has her entire life), and my illness (unsurprisingly) makes her panic even more. Her and I are only 19 years apart (and she and Dad are a whopping 12 years apart!), and we both have mental illness, so we do sympathize together almost as much as we fight. =D

Although my father, to my knowledge, doesn't suffer from neuro or psych illness, he's just something else psychologically...
