Recovered Mental Patients Aid Others UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — The National Assn, for Mental Health wants everyone to take sharp notice of what a group of former mental patients are doing in Huntington, W.Va. It would like the idea to catch on everywhere. These recovered patients are talking about their illnesses as freely and fully as most recovered surgical patients talk about their operations. They do it as a contribution to the general welfare on grounds that the public’s sub-rosa attitude toward mental illness greatly aggravates that particular public health problem. In that respect they are in complete agreement with the scientists in this field, where more tax money is spent with less public support than any other. Hie scientific viewpoint is that a mental illness is an illness no less legitimate than any other, and an ill person shouldn’t be stigmatized. May Erase Stigma This stigma, which the public imposes, both prevents early treatment of mental illness, when treatment would be most effective. and complete rehabilitation of the ill, according to all authorities. But “one of die reasons for this stigma will be erased when the recovered mental patient is willing to discus* his illness as freely as the surgical patient discusses his 'operation,” said Dr. Thelma V. Owen and M. G. Stemmermann. They are director of the Owen Clinic Institute, a small private mental hospital in Huntington, where there have been many lib eral innovations over the years. Drs. Owen and Stemmermann described the pioneer mental health publicity work of the recovered patients in the association's quar- ■ Form Club “r ; The ex-patients form a club. To be full members, they must be willing to identify themselves by name in the club’s public activities. The members appear frequently on radio and even, on television to describe their illnesses and how they recovered their health. They form* panels which appear before any group that is interested in learning the score about mental illness from people who have experienced it. “Statistical evaluation of improvement in public attitudes because of the Owen Clinic Club and its panels is impossible,” said Drs. Owen and Stemmermann. “It is frequently discouraging to club members to overhear or have it said directly: ‘But of course you were never very sick — like patients in state hospital.’ It is hoped that the panelists will dispel this misconception. Most Get Job* “The hopeful sign is the fact that with one exception no club member has been refused a Job following discharge although they never hesitate to admit prior mental illness.” • The one exception was a girl who , returned to a factory job from 6 ? the hospital, finished a high school education by correspondence, and applied to a telephone company for a job. The personnel manager okayed her but "the medical staff — general practioner* working part time —- refused to approve her appointment because of ‘company policy’.”. “This case may be an exception,” said Drs. Owen and Stemmermann. “If it is not, one may conclude thht the Owen Clinic Club has been less successful in changing the attitudes of the general (medical) practitioner than in influencing attitudes of the general public." Ship Rediscovered ALEXANDRIA BAY N.Y. (UPI) —Two Syracuse, N.Y., skin divers have found the ship “Keystorm’’ which sank about 45 years ago in the Thousand Islands section of the St. Lawrence river. Robert G. Evans Jr. and Bernard A.’ Forth rediscovered the ship about 100 yards from where ; charts indicated she had gone down. They said the bow is is 45 feet of water while the stem slants down'to an estimated depth of 140 feet. *
