“A person with mental illness can recover even though the illness is not ‘cured. ’ Recovery is a way of living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life even with the limitations caused by illness. Recovery involves the development of new meaning and purpose in one’s life as one grows beyond the catastrophic effects of mental illness. ” Anthony 1993
