I had just finished Jonathan Rosen’s “The Best Minds” when the Daniel Penny thing happened. Much of the book explains de institutionalization and its tragic ramifications. Seems like we could come up with some reasonable legislation to help those that can’t and won’t help themselves.

I constantly harangue people here and in my real life to read this book; it's gripping but even more importantly it provides key background information for substantive conversations about this tragic and very thorny issue

OMG! Same. I just came here to post about Rosen's terrific book. He really dives deep into the dangers of the anti-psychiatry movement.
It’s a great book. I was shaken for a while after I finished it.
Agreed, best nonfiction book I read that year.

After I read The Best Minds I read Darkness Visible and The Center Cannot Hold. Both are very good 👍
I read the latter (very good) and I'll look for the former, thanks
