このコンテンツについて

 The first time Anita heard of her son’s schizophrenia was during his court-martial, after he’d been thrown in the brig for fighting. It was the start of a 20-year cycle of recovery, relapse, arrest, and then involuntarily medicating him in a place where everything is involuntary: prison. But she was not just battling an illness She faced something that is virtually invisible, and everywhere.

The Episode Producer was Dr. Ruth Shim, who is also an advisor to Brain Stories.
