Meg Kissinger
“With the help of a drug called scopolamine (also known as the date rape drug, “the Devil’s Breath”), women felt the pain of giving birth; they just couldn’t remember it.”
Meg Kissinger, While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

Meg Kissinger
“Scott was on death row in Texas, waiting to be executed for killing his in-laws while in a psychotic trance. Scott’s wife had tried to turn his guns over to the police the day before, but the officer refused, saying, “Ma’am, a man’s guns are sacred property.”
Meg Kissinger, While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

Noelle W. Ihli
“There was no time to explain to two little girls that something far worse than a bear really was hunting them along the trails”
Noelle W. Ihli, Ask for Andrea

Paul Kalanithi
“Because the brain mediates our experience of the world, any neurosurgical problem forces a patient and family, ideally with a doctor as a guide, to answer this question: What makes life meaningful enough to go on living?”
Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

Robert Kolker
“The metaphor I use is that years ago, clinicians used to look at ‘fever’ as one disease,” said John McGrath, an epidemiologist with Australia’s Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research and one of the world’s authorities on quantifying populations of mentally ill people. “Then they split it into different types of fevers. And then they realized it’s just a nonspecific reaction to various illnesses. Psychosis is just what the brain does when it’s not working very well.”
Robert Kolker, Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family
