Growing up in the 1960s in the suburbs of Chicago, Meg Kissinger's family seemed to live a charmed life. With eight kids and two loving parents, the Kissingers radiated a warm, boisterous energy. Whether they were spending summer days on the shores of Lake Michigan, barreling down the ski slopes, or navigating the trials of their Catholic school, the Kissingers always knew how to live large and play hard. But behind closed doors, a harsher reality was unfolding. A heavily-medicated mother hospitalized for anxiety and depression, a manic father prone to violence, and children in the throes of bipolar disorder and depression, two of whom would take their own lives. Through it all, the Kissingers faced the world with their signature dark humor and the unspoken family rule-never talk about it. While You Were Out begins as the personal story of one family's struggles, then opens outward as Kissinger details how childhood tragedy catalyzed a journalism career focused on exposing our country's flawed mental health care. Combining the intimacy of memoir with the rigor of investigative reporting, the book explores the consequences of shame, the havoc of botched public policy, and the hope offered by new treatment strategies. This is a story of one family's love and devotion in the face of relentless struggle. It is a book for anyone who cares about someone with mental illness. In other words, it is a book for everyone" -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Kissinger, Meg $x Family. 650 0 $a Families of the mentally ill $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mental illness $x Genetic aspects. 650 0 $a Photography of families. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032750.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DD386D74084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
