My brother, Brent Slowik, had a mental illness called Paranoid Schizophrenia - "one of several types of schizophrenia, a chronic mental illness in which reality is interpreted abnormally. The classic features of paranoid schizophrenia are having beliefs that have no basis in reality and hearing things that aren't real."
Unfortunately in my brother's case this disease took his life by suicide.
While it's too late to save Brent, you have the opportunity to help others like Brent who suffer from various mental illness diseases. I have started a team to walk at this years NAMI Northwest Walk by visiting this link you can donate to my team.
Thanks so much for your time.
