Sharing my story and journey can make a positive impact. Let's break the stigma together.”Many years ago, Lindsay Mary and her sister, Margaret Galvin, decided they wanted to share their family story in the hopes it would reduce or eliminate the stigma associated with schizophrenia and mental illness for other families. They also wanted to give hope to those who have been traumatized by these brain disorders. After selecting Bob Kolker to be the journalist to bring their story to life, they never imagined their story would become a New York Times bestseller.

Susie talks about the new docuseries, Six Schizophrenic Brothers, which is an accompaniment to the book we read in Candy Club, Hidden Valley Road, about a family of twelve siblings in which six of them have that mental illness.

We hear that a Mexican church is selling plots of land...in heaven, and why we think we might buy some. Susie describes the Celine Dion documentary, her Stiff Body Syndrome diagnosis, and why we think she has the brain of an addict. We learn about a study on "inner voices" and how not everyone has one and what it means for their brain function. We discuss the logistics of Olympic food prep, and how they can cater to 15,000 athletes and their nutritional, cultural, and personal culinary needs during their time in the Village. Susie explains the inner workings of her ear worm affliction, and how it relates to Elvis. Plus, we learn why bananas and doner kebabs are the secret to life?Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:The Brain Candy Podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Die Galvins schienen den amerikanischen Traum zu leben: Don beruflich erfolgreich bei der Air Force, Mimi treusorgende Ehefrau und Mutter von zwölf Kindern. Doch hinter der Fassade ihres schmucken Heims in der Hidden Valley Road verbarg sich eine ganz andere Realität, geprägt von mentalen Zusammenbrüchen, plötzlichen Gewaltexzessen und Missbrauch. Bis zur Mitte der 70er-Jahre erhielten sechs der zehn Galvin-Brüder die Diagnose Schizophrenie. Die Krankheit machte alle zu Opfern, besonders aber die beiden jüngsten der Geschwister und einzigen Mädchen. Der Fall der Familie war so außergewöhnlich, dass das amerikanische National Institute for Mental Health ausführliche Studien mit ihnen machte. Ihre einzigartige DNA war die Basis für bahnbrechende medizinische Fortschritte bei der Behandlung von Schizophrenie, einer Krankheit mit vielen Unbekannten.In einer herausragenden erzählerischen Tour de Force erzählt New York Times-Bestsellerautor Robert Kolker nicht nur ein Stück unglaublich spannender Medizingeschichte, sondern auch die zu Herzen gehende Geschichte einer Familie, die gegen ihr Schicksal kämpft.Quelle: Verlagstext
In conversation with Robert Kolker John Hendrickson is the author of a 2019 Atlantic article titled ''What Joe Biden Can't Bring Himself to Say.'' An account of the President's-and his own-lifelong experience with stuttering, it was read by more than two million people, including multitudes of stutterers who responded with stories of their own journeys. Life on Delay is a memoir born from that article and the deeper questions it raised for Hendrickson, as well as an exploration of the wider personal, societal, and professional issues that can affect stutterers and their families. A senior editor at The Atlantic, he wrote and edited for Rolling Stone, Esquire, and The Denver Post, and has spoken about stuttering, politics, and journalism on a variety of media platforms and at universities across the United States. Robert Kolker's Hidden Valley Road, the nonfiction account of a family's experience with schizophrenia, was an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller, an Oprah's Book Club selection, and was named a best book of the year by scores of media outlets. He is also the author of Lost Girls, one of Slate's best nonfiction books of the quarter century. A National Magazine Award finalist, his articles have appeared in Wired, The New York Times Magazine, and Bloomberg Businessweek, among many other periodicals. (recorded 1/24/2023)
Se estima que una de cada cuatro personas en el mundo experimentará un trastorno mental en algún momento de su vida. La enfermedad mental tiene costos sociales incalculables. El suicidio es uno de esos gravísimos costos que cobra un millón de vítimas anualmente, siendo la tercera causa de mortalidad entre jóvenes adolescentes. A pesar de su grave impacto, la enfermedad mental sigue siendo difícil de detectar, tratar y admitir a nivel social y, aún peor, en la propia familia. En entrevista para el diario español La Razón, Robert Kolker, autor de Los chicos de Hidden Valley Road (Sexto Piso, 2022), describe el trastorno mental como "un valle escóndido", confuso e incierto del que es muy difícil salir. Aunque la fe y la práctica religiosa pudieran impactar positivamente la salud mental, muchas comunidades de fe cristiana no saben que hacer cuando, entre sus fieles, alguién padece un transtorno mental. En la narración bíblica encontramos algunos casos notables de transtornos mentales (Saul, Nabucodonosor, el joven "lunático") y la actitud de Jesucristo hacia el quebranto fisico-espiritual del ser humano.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bei etwa einem von hundert Menschen wird im Laufe seines Lebens Schizophrenie diagnostiziert. Die Krankheit hat viele Gesichter und äußert sich u.a. durch unangemessenes Verhalten, Bewegungsauffälligkeiten. Wahnvorstellungen, Halluzinationen, psychotische Schübe. Die genauen Ursachen sind bis heute ungeklärt. Es gibt aber eine Familie, die der Forschung entscheidende Hinweise geliefert hat. Die Galvins aus Colorado Springs. Gesunde Eltern mit 12 Kinder, von denen sechs erkrankten. Der vielfach ausgezeichnete US-Journalist Robert Kolker erzählt in seinem neuen Buch "Hidden Valley Road. Im Kopf einer amerikanischen Familie" die Geschichte der Galvins. Ein gleichermaßen bestürzendes, beunruhigendes und faszinierendes Buch, sagt Roana Brogsitter

Would you recognize the symptoms of schizophrenia in your children? Don and Mimi Galvin didn't at first. Robert Kolker's book “Hidden Valley Road” not only tells of the Galvin family struggles, but how their participation in schizophrenia studies have helped scientists looking for better treatments and maybe even a cure. Mary Galvin, the youngest family member, endured horrific neglect and abuse. She often felt like an outcast of society, and this gave her a new connection to her six brothers who each had a mental health diagnosis. They needed so much help that home care assistance was not a realistic option. So Mary took on much of the care of her brothers herself. It was her way of surviving schizophrenia and its effect on her family.

To their neighbors in Colorado Springs, the Galvins seemed to be a large, happy, baby boom family. Over the years 6 of the 12 children would be diagnosed with schizophrenia. How this could have happened this happened is the subject of the new book “Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family” by Robert Kolker.
Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR ONE OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR PEOPLE'S #1 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Named a BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, TIME, Slate, Smithsonian, The New York Post, and Amazon The heartrending story of a midcentury American family with twelve children, six of them diagnosed with schizophrenia, that became science's great hope in the quest to understand the disease. Don and Mimi Galvin seemed to be living the American dream. After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the schizophrenogenic mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, offering paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations. With clarity and compassion, bestselling and award-winning author Robert Kolker uncovers one family's unforgettable legacy of suffering, love, and hope.

After World War II, Don's work with the Air Force brought them to Colorado, where their twelve children perfectly spanned the baby boom: the oldest born in 1945, the youngest in 1965. In those years, there was an established script for a family like the Galvins--aspiration, hard work, upward mobility, domestic harmony--and they worked hard to play their parts. But behind the scenes was a different story: psychological breakdown, sudden shocking violence, hidden abuse. By the mid-1970s, six of the ten Galvin boys, one after another, were diagnosed as schizophrenic. How could all this happen to one family? What took place inside the house on Hidden Valley Road was so extraordinary that the Galvins became one of the first families to be studied by the National Institute of Mental Health. Their story offers a shadow history of the science of schizophrenia, from the era of institutionalization, lobotomy, and the “schizophrenogenic” mother to the search for genetic markers for the disease, always amid profound disagreements about the nature of the illness itself. And unbeknownst to the Galvins, samples of their DNA informed decades of genetic research that continues today, bringing hope for paths to treatment, prediction, and even eradication of the disease for future generations.

Life isn't always how it appears, especially inside a home nestled on Hidden Valley Road. Margaret Galvin Johnson grew up in an American family with twelve children. Six of them being diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Behind the illusion of perfection, good looks, and athleticism hid a secret. A secret that would later become medical's greatest hope for understanding Schizophrenia. Hidden Valley Road is a true story of rejection, pain, trauma, abandonment, neglect, and physical and sexual abuse. However, hidden within the chaos of mental illness lies another story—a story of a girl who grew to be a courageous woman. In today's episode, the spotlight is shined on how Margaret Galvin Johnson navigated her way through years of trauma to a place of self-compassion. Margaret Galvin Johnson is a multi-passionate artist who has spent the last twenty years writing her family story (now known as Hidden Valley Road). A story of shame, denial, secrecy, abuse, mental illness, and resilience. Margaret's family story, which was later handed off to author Robert Kolker, has since become a New York Times bestseller and Oprah's 84th book club pick. __________ COURAGEOUSLY.U SHOWNOTES: https://courageouslyu.com/?p=2253 COURAGEOUSLY.U FACEBOOK COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1416219115169393 COURAGEOUSLY.U INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/courageously.u/
Even before the COVID-19 crisis, millions of millennials were finding new solace in an old celestial tradition: astrology. The onetime '70s fad is back as millennials are looking to the stars for answers on mobile apps, online, and in newspaper and magazine horoscopes. The Pew Research Center reports a third of Americans aged 18 to 29 regularly follow the planets' movements and positions. How did astrology, once considered merely light entertainment, become a cultural phenomenon for millennial Americans? Guests: Dr. Judy Tsafrir - Adult and child psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School faculty member, and local astrologer. She is also a certified member of The Organization for Professional Astrology. Dr. Steven Novella - Neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine, founder and president of the New England Skeptical Society, and host/producer of the podcast, “The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe.” Morgan Hing - Former associate studio designer for Boston-based ad agency Hill Holliday and astrology fanatic. Later in the show: About 3.2 million Americans have the brain disorder schizophrenia, but about 40 percent of schizophrenics go undiagnosed. That was the case for many of Mimi and Don Galvin's sons: six of 12 siblings whose story is the subject of Robert Kolker's compelling narrative, “Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family.” Kolker embeds their shocking and poignant family story into the ongoing scientific quest to understand how schizophrenia works and how to treat its victims. “Hidden Valley Road” is author Robert Kolker's second book, and it's our May selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.” Guest: Robert Kolker — author of “Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of An American Family,” which is available in bookstores and online now.
