Lyme disease causes mental illness. This is the best article I have ever seen. As the author advises - copy it and carry it with you so you can consult it whenever needed.

This is the best advice from the article - for patients, family and caregivers. I split it up for easier reading.

"How To Prepare Yourself for a Mental Health Emergency

1. Remove firearms from your home and lock up lethal medications

2. Make a contact list of crisis phone numbers, local resources, and trusted friends or family members.
It’s a good idea to let these people know in advance that they are on this list, so they can be prepared to rise to the occasion if necessary.

3. Print this article out, fold it up and keep it with you always. You never know when you may need to consult it.

Always keep in mind, you don’t have to go through Lyme disease all alone. If no one sympathetic is near, search the internet in your area for Lyme or chronic illness support groups.

If you can’t find such a community where you live, please dig deeper. There are thousands of people creating safe spaces and raising Lyme-suicide awareness online.

You deserve to heal.
You deserve a life free of Lyme and its many debilitating symptoms. You deserve to be seen and heard.
You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect in your illness. The world needs you and you need the world."
