For #mentalhealthawareness we're sharing the story of Karen Meadows, who had a normal, happy family until depression consumed her daughter, Sadie. A struggle that ended with Sadie's suicide at age eighteen. In Searching for Normal, Meadows shares her family's journey as she tries to help her daughter Sadie cope with her mental illness. Karen and her husband desperately search for solutions trying medication, hospitals, therapy, wilderness and residential treatment programs, and more. Ultimately, however, they find themselves the victims of the devastating shortcomings of the US mental health system. Including hindsight advice from Meadows, along with an extensive list of resources that she wishes someone had provided her when she was trying to help Sadie, this book will help parents of struggling teens feel less alone.
