Author Recounts Raising A Son With Schizophrenia

Miriam Feldman's new memoir, 'He Came In With It: A Portrait of Motherhood and Madness' recounts raising a son with schizophrenia.

According to HuffPost, Feldman says that when one child β€œis on fire,” the other siblings are marginalized.

She also says it's extremely difficult to navigate a 'broken' medical system not set up to support people with mental illnesses.

Feldman says the medical profession sees its job as stabilizing schizophrenia's bad symptoms with medication--and that's it.
