Sifting through ideas for my public art planning grant, I do have a story to tell.   I wish to be part of a change in how society looks at a mental illness commonly found worldwide. If I could I would change identification of mental illness to an illness of the brain, a disease of the brain. 
To tell this story I have chosen to use the visual language of art.  What we don't know scares us and we as " normal" people think its about behaviour and not a out of balance chemistry of the brain.
