How Long Have You Been Dealing with Mental Health Issues?

I had anxiety (although I didn't know what it was) when I was around 8 or 9. Depression in my teens. I'm 46 now.

I have battled with mental health issues since I was a teenager. My bigger concern is that my mom Reese's reeds diagnosed as manic depressive and finally during her late 40s Schizophrenia kicked in.

Mine didn’t really come out full force until I was like 26 I’m now 41, but I know that what I was feeling in my childhood years was the onset of it all.
