In part:
“…Last night I received a wonderful email from a friend of her late mother, Bebe Moore Campbell. Nancy Carter, executive director of NAMI Urban Los Angeles (NAMI Urban Los Angeles (NULA) is the urban affiliate of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness), thanking BlackWeb20.com for the coverage and the compassion shown towards Maia.
Nancy explained that Maia has been diagnosed with bi-polar/manic depression. And because substance abuse is involved she has co-occurring disorder, which has symptoms similar to schizophrenia.
In short, Maia is mentally ill and has a substance abuse problem.
Nancy shared some important and good news: Maia is in treatment. And she said that there is hope for Maia’s recovery but the prayers of “50,000,000″ people can make the difference, (…the power of prayer is awesome!) because Maia doesn’t like to stay in treatment, and her treatment involves drug withdrawal as well as treatment for her disorders. (I hope she hangs with it…)
Withdrawal is the hard part. I think once she gets thru a 3-5 day detox, she should be ok…I surely hope so.
Let’s just keep prayin…
