New York Times profiles mental illness success stories

November 29th, 2011

Written by Benedict Carey of the New York Times, Lives Restored, is a fascinating read. It’s a series of profiles about people who are functioning normally despite severe mental illness and have chosen to speak out about their struggles. We recommend taking some time to read the articles and watch the videos to better understand mental illness and how people can recover successfully.

Part Three: A High-Profile Executive Job as Defense Against Mental Ills
