An Inside Story of Mental Illness -- Elyn Saks

This Sunday, May 10th, we'll follow up with another first person story of combating mental illness. The TED presenter is Elyn Saks, the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychology and Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California's Gould School of Law.

The blurb reads: ""Is it okay if I totally trash your office?" It's a question Elyn Saks once asked her doctor, and it wasn't a joke. A legal scholar, in 2007 Saks came forward with her own story of schizophrenia, controlled by drugs and therapy but ever-present. In this powerful talk, she asks us to see people with mental illness clearly, honestly and compassionately."
