The mysteries and meaning of mental illness will be explored at Lifetree Café on
Sunday, October 29 at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Mysteries of Mental Illness: One Woman’s Struggle to Regain Her
Life,” features a filmed interview with Karen McCracken, a woman diagnosed with
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and author of Breaking Free From OCD.
“It got to a point that I would have to read every sign I saw when I went somewhere,”
McCracken says. “If I saw a sign in my peripheral vision, I thought something bad would
happen if I didn’t stop to read it.”
During the program Lifetree participants will have the opportunity to discuss brushes
with mental illness they, or people close to them, have experienced.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13 th St., Arcata.
