In A Common Struggle, Patrick Kennedy tells the story that only he can tell.
There are many memoirs of depression, bipolar, co-morbid substance abuse, families that keep secrets, and recovery. Lately there are memoirs that combine a personal story with a cause: get help, get the right diagnosis, find people who can support you, advocate for better treatment.
Kennedy's unique perspective is the insider's view on the long-term national political work of improving mental health care.
