**A New York Times Bestseller**Patrick J. Kennedy, the former congressman and youngest child of Senator Ted Kennedy, details his personal and political battle with mental illness and addiction, exploring mental health care's history in the country alongside his and every family's private struggles.On May 5, 2006, the New York Times ran two stories, “Patrick Kennedy Crashes Car into Capitol Barrier” and then, several hours later, “Patrick Kennedy Says He'll Seek Help for Addiction.” It was the first time that the popular Rhode Island congressman had publicly disclosed his addiction to prescription painkillers, the true extent of his struggle with bipolar disorder and his plan to immediately seek treatment. That could have been the end of his career, but instead it was the beginning. Since then, Kennedy has become the nation’s leading advocate for mental health and substance abuse care, research and policy both in and out of Congres
The Honorable Patrick J. Kennedy is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the nation’s leading political voice on mental illness, addiction, and other brain diseases. During his 16-year career representing Rhode Island in Congress, he fought a national battle to end medical and societal discrimination against these illnesses, highlighted by his lead sponsorship of the Mental Health Parity and Addictions Equity Act of 2008--and his brave openness about his own health challenges. The son of Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, he decided to leave Congress not long after his father’s death to devote his career to advocacy for brain diseases and to create a new, healthier life and start a family. He has since founded the Kennedy Forum, which unites the community of mental health, and co-founded One Mind for Research, which sponsors brain research and open science collaboration. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, Amy, and their four children. <
It is at this moment in David's life, with his arms wrapped tightly around his baby brother, that changes everything--his view of himself, his life, the world around him and the people in it. There is also a thought or perspective that gets some really good air time as well.
This is poetry for the poets--the wordmasters to see another wordmaster at work, but mostly it is for the ordinary reader that enjoys reading but has never really appreciated the art of crafting a poem.
There is an absolute richness of words playing together that Mauro hands to the reader with a smiple gesture of spirit.
I recommend this with all my heart.. And what a wonderful way to honor a great city that saw such tragedy with Hurricane Katrina. Aromatherapy uses essential oils extracted from flowers, stems, leaves, barks and other parts of a plant. A good read, hits on all of the high points, and reinforces much about the way the industry is changing in the 21st century. The more poetry one reads
