In this special episode, we are joined by journalist Aneri Pattani. Ms. Pattani shares how her interest in the field of mental health journalism grew from a personal experience during her college years. She discusses how reporting on mental health and addiction has traditionally fallen under the crime beat and has therefore generally failed to cover the public health aspect of the larger story. She talks about mental health and addiction as systematic issues that should be reported in their larger context, rather than covered as individual events. Ms. Pattani offers her thoughts on how journalists can prepare to report on these health and science topics and shares helpful resources, including the Association of Health Care Journalists and The Open Notebook. She also touches on how reporting on mental health and addiction differs from other types of reporting. Ms. Pattani discusses her writing process, experiences working in this field, and the evolution of mental health and addiction reporting. Finally, she shares advice for both seasoned and new reporters who cover and would like to cover mental health and addiction. Aneri Pattani is a senior correspondent at KFF Health News, a national nonprofit outlet covering US health care and health policy. Ms. Pattani reports on a range of public health topics, with a focus on mental health, suicide, and substance use. Over the past year, she's produced a series of text and audio stories – published with NPR and CNN among other national outlets – about how state and local governments are spending their opioid settlement funds. She was a 2019 recipient of the Rosalynn Carter Fellowship for Mental Health Journalism. She is pursuing her master's in public health as a Bloomberg fellow at Johns Hopkins University.

Family Confidential: Secrets of Successful Parenting with Annie Fox, M.Ed.
Judith Warner's original book idea about medicating kids with "issues" was that children were being "stuffed full of meds" to enhance performance and that they were being "over diagnosed" with all kinds of "so-called" flavor of the month disorders that didn't exist a generation ago. The book she wrote We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication is not that book at all. Annie talks with Judith about kids and medication, what makes sense and why. About Judith Warner Judith Warner is a former correspondent for Newsweek in Paris.
