Shame And Secrecy Surrounding Bipolar Disorder And Other Mental Illnesses

08/05/14 - Tuesday’s Topical Currents delves into a mother’s heart-wrenching story of her daughter’s suicide…her unimaginable and all-consuming grief, her guilt, and her struggle to find peace. Joan E. Childs, a psychotherapist herself, has written Why Did She Jump: My Daughter’s Battle with Bipolar Disorder.  It’s an intimate and uncompromising account of the tragedy and lifts the veil of shame and secrecy surrounding bipolar disorder and other mental illnesses. Please join us for Topical Currents, Tuesday at 1pm.
