| Legislative Session 2003: Mental Health by Ron Brand This was a difficult
session for the mental health (MH) community. It is, perhaps, a symptom
of the fragmented nature of the MH system that there were so many proposals
with potential impact on services and supports for persons living with
mental illness (MI). MH services are affected by all the changes to
health care eligibility, co-pays and medications, as well as cuts to
counties and grant programs. Everyone worked hard to minimize the pain
within the difficult budget constraints. .

Sleep Disorders and Disability by Jeff Nygaard Before he was treated
for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), Rick Cardenas would deny that he
had a problem. He denied, for example, that he snored. Other things,
he couldn’t deny. “One of the things that really pushed it over the
edge,” said Cardenas, “was that I would be talking with the woman I was
going out with at the time, and I would fall asleep in the middle of
the conversation. That’s not good for a relationship!” .
