Jordan Barnes's Reviews > Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness

I picked up this book to gain further insight on a project I am working on. Immediately, I found myself engrossed not only by the author's story of him and his son, but by how people like his son have been failed by the system over and over again. I have a better understanding on the complexities and challenges facing the mentally ill, and like with any truly great book,
I am left motivated to develop my understanding further. Lastly, as someone in recovery from addiction/substance use disorder, I often found myself drawing parallels between treatment, the system, and being housed in places never intended to help people like me. I recommend this book and would go so far as to hope to one day see it as required reading. The ending was incredible and logical and well spoken. Mahalo for this book!
