Angela,
Having a loved one with mental illness and one with a heart condition and pacemaker, I have witnessed the very real considerations that must be factored in when they travel. Some extra planning and awareness can make their experiences safe and enjoyable, whether it is discusssing coping techniques or arranging for wheelchair escorts and safe passage through metal detectors at the airport. Thanks for posting this important topic.
