While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence by Meg Kissinger

3.0

First two thirds of the book is discussing Meg’s family history that includes family members that committed suicide (trigger warning). Which leads to the last third of the book that discusses Meg’s career looking into mental health and the issues revolving it. I wouldn’t say anything was particularly eye opening to me but if you haven’t read much on our public health system or mental health, this would be a good introduction to the subjects.
