About this ebook
The second and final part of Have You Taken Your Meds? brings the multifaceted story to a bittersweet but hopeful conclusion. Through the ongoing struggle with mental illness, we see many glimpses of what “mental health” might mean, what it might mean to endure both illness and loss. With candor and skill, Joyce ties together political commentary, personal insight, compassion for the people around him, and rage at the injustices he sees in the world. As he comes to understand his past and prepare for the future, the story comes to a close—a moving, intimate look at the trials and triumphs of a life passionately lived.
