New York Times-bestselling author Ron Forces gives a searching, richly researched narrative of the cultural history of mental illness in the us paired using the deeply about No One Cares About Crazy People: The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America personal tale of his two sons’ fights with schizophrenia.Through the centuries of torture of ‘lunatiks’ at Bedlam Asylum to the infamous eugenics era to the follies of the anti-psychiatry movement to the present landscape in which too many families struggle alone to manage afflicted love ones, Capabilities limns our concerns and misconceptions about mental illness as well as the fractured public procedures that have resulted. Braided with this background is the moving tale of Powers’s precious child Kevin–spirited, endearing, and gifted–who triumphed whilst experiencing schizophrenia until finally he did not, and the story of his courageous surviving son Dean, who’s also schizophrenic.
