Because I Come From a Crazy Family - The Making of a Psychiatrist with Author Dr. Edward Hallowell

Because I Come from a Crazy Family is in many ways a paean to the mentally ill and those who love them. Hallowell is honest about these complicated relationships and the difficult years of his own life that accompanied them, and he hopes that this honesty will inspire others to destigmatize the “crazy” in their own families. This is a book for fans of Hallowell’s distinguished work in ADHD treatment, fellow members of the psychiatric community, those who have experienced mental illness themselves or in those they love, and readers of all kinds interested in a memoir about finding love in a truly difficult family. A portion of the author’s proceeds will be going to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
