For some individuals, recovery is the ability to live a fulfilling and productive life despite a disability.

For others, recovery implies the reduction or complete remission of symptoms.

Science has shown that hope plays an integral role in an individual’s recovery.

 The Bathtub Test

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director “how do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?”

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug.

Do you want a bed near the window?"

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?
