When NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ken Duckworth, talked with Eric Smith, Eric was finishing up a master’s degree in social work and looking forward to a bright future. It hasn’t always been that way. From an early age, Eric heard voices and had symptoms consistent with bipolar disorder. He turned to marijuana for relief and then moved on to more powerful substances. After that came jail time, worsening mental health, psychiatric hospitalization and, ultimately, recovery. He also dealt with anosognosia, a condition where a person is unaware of their psychiatric condition or mental health issue. Eric shares his powerful and moving story.
This conversation was part of Dr. Duckworth’s research for the book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health--With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real People and Families. Hear more episodes of this and other podcasts and nami.org/podcast.
