It Happened! Link to Yesterday's NPR Diane Rehm Show on Involuntary Psychiatric Care

The third time scheduled was a charm and we had a wonderful time going in to Washington to be on Diane Rehm's talk show.  Okay, so the car wouldn't start at first, and I missed a turn, but we got there without event.  The show included our friend, Pete Earley, and two people who had experienced involuntary psychiatric hospitalizations, Lily and Jaime -- they both did a great job of talking about their experiences.  Pete, the author ofCrazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness and more recently co-author of the novelTreason,  added a lot of life to the issue by talking about how hard it was to get his son care during a psychotic state years ago.  The nice thing: Pete's son is doing great, as are the two women who called in. If you'd like to listen, the link ishere:https://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2016-11-29/the-debate-over-involuntary-psychiatric-treatmentAnd Pete Earley wrote more about the show, including some of the Facebook Q&A after, onhis blog.As far as the photo goes, we took a vote and Diane Rehm definitely looks the best.  What a great host and what a privilege to be on this marvelous radio show before she retires.-----Listen to our latest podcast atmythreeshrinks.com or subscribe to ourrss feed.
