How we fail people with severe mental illness

A diagnosis of schizophrenia can be devastating, especially when it affects someone you love. Author Jonathan Rosen joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his friendship with a man who developed schizophrenia in his 20s – a story that illustrates the many ways the healthcare system lets down people with severe mental illness. His book is “The Best Minds: A Story of Friendship, Madness, and the Tragedy of Good Intentions.” His article in The Atlantic is called “American Madness.”
