We Heard the Angels of Madness: One Family's Struggle With Manic Depression pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Te patient usually comes with a companion. The patient looks
relaxed, but the companion's eyes betray fear, uncertainty, endless
questions. I remember meeting Mark, accompanied by his mother. I
remember the inadequacy of the hour spent with them and feeling that
ten or one hundred hours would not quench the fire of their pain.
Every week, one or two families reenact this scenario in my office.
Throughout the country, in hospitals, clinics, and emergency rooms,
hundreds more join them. Because the major mental illnesses are what
psychiatrists dryly call "familial disorders," many people have gone
through the experience before with a parent, sibling, or child. For these
family members, the pain is duller but more certain, and may kindle
tribal memories of curses, of uncleanliness. For other families, there are
no memories, no signposts. There are only hurried, hushed profession-
a/s, who seem to distance and b/ame in equal measure. And there is
time, passing so much more slowly than in surgical waiting rooms,
coronary-care units, or even cancer wards.
