## Resource

When does sadness become a disease? Grief? Dr. Roger McFillin sits down with Mary Ann Kenny a lecturer, a mother of two, and the author of The Episode: A True Story of Loss, Madness and Healing . Ten years ago, her husband went out for a morning run and never came home. What followed was grief—and then a collision with a psychiatric system that would change her life in ways she never could have anticipated.
