Stephen Fried, Patrick J. Kennedy, "Profiles in Mental Health Courage"

Profiles in Mental Health Courage portrays the dramatic journeys of a diverse group of Americans who have struggled with their mental health. This book offers deeply compelling stories about the bravery and resilience of those living with a variety of mental illnesses and addictions.

Several years ago, Patrick J. Kennedy shared the story of his personal and family challenges with mental illness and addiction—and the nation’s—in his bestselling memoir, A Common Struggle. Now, he and his Common Struggle coauthor, award-winning healthcare journalist Stephen Fried, have crafted this powerful new book sharing the untold stories of others—a special group who agreed to talk about their illnesses, treatments, and struggles for the first time.

When Kennedy’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy, published his classic book Profiles in Courage, he hoped to inspire “political courage” by telling the stories of brave U.S. senators who changed America.

In Profiles in Mental Health Courage, former Congressman Kennedy adapts his uncle’s idea to inspire the “mental health courage” it takes for those with these conditions to treat their illnesses, and risk telling their stories to help America face its crisis in our families, our workplaces, our jails, and on our streets. The resounding silence surrounding these illnesses remains persistent, and this book takes an unflinching look at the experience of mental illness and addiction that inspires profound connection, empathy, and action.

In this book, you’ll meet people of all ages, backgrounds, and futures, across politics and government, Hollywood and the arts, tech and business, sports and science—some recovering, some relapsing, some just barely holding on, but all sharing experiences and insights we need to better understand. You’ll also meet those trying to help them through—parents, siblings, spouses, therapists, bosses, doctors, and friends who create the extended families needed to support care and wellness.

The personal stories they share with Kennedy and Fried are intimate, sometimes shocking, always revealing. And they are essential reading for caregivers, family members, policymakers, and the general public—just as they are for those who often feel alone in experiencing these challenges themselves.

史蒂芬·弗里德、帕特rick J.肯尼迪，《勇气精神：心理健康》

《勇气精神：心理健康》描绘了来自不同背景的美国人在应对心理健康问题上的戏剧性旅程。这本书讲述了那些患有多种心理疾病和依赖的人们面对困难时的勇敢与韧性。

数年前，帕特rick J.肯尼迪在畅销书《共同挣扎》中分享了他的个人及家庭在精神健康方面所面临的挑战，以及全国范围内人们的精神健康问题。如今，他和他的合著者、获奖医疗记者史蒂芬·弗里德创作了这部新的力作，讲述了那些从未公开谈论自己病情的人的故事——一群同意讲述自己的疾病、治疗方式和斗争经历的特殊群体。

当肯尼迪的叔叔、前总统约翰·F·肯尼迪出版了他的经典著作《勇气精神》时，他希望以此激发“政治勇气”，通过叙述勇敢的美国参议员改变国家的故事。

在《勇气精神：心理健康》中，前国会议员肯尼迪将他叔叔的想法改编为鼓舞那些患有这些疾病的人治疗自己的病情，并愿意分享他们的故事以帮助美国面对家庭、工作场所、监狱和街头的问题。

尽管人们对这些疾病的沉默一直持续存在，但这部作品却直面并揭示了精神疾病的体验，激发人们产生深刻的情感共鸣与行动。在本书中，你将遇见来自不同年龄、背景及未来的各种人物，涉及政治与政府领域、好莱坞和艺术界、科技与商业世界、体育和科学领域——有的正在康复，有的则可能再次陷入困境，也有人正挣扎着维持生活，但他们都在分享着彼此的经验与见解，以帮助我们更好地理解。你还将遇见那些在这些人身边努力支持他们的人——父母、兄弟姐妹、配偶、治疗师、上司、医生以及朋友，他们共同构建出一个需要支持和健康的家庭。

肯尼迪与弗里德分享给读者的故事是私密的，有时甚至让人震惊，但它们都是至关重要的读物。正如它们对那些在面对这些挑战时感到孤独的人来说一样重要，对于护理者、家人成员、政策制定者以及普通公众来说也同样重要。
