This Sunday, The Reverend Chip Edens will host a conversation with Damon Tweedy, MD, an author, psychiatrist, and professor of psychiatry at Duke University. His latest book, Facing the Unseen, is a powerful and urgent call to center psychiatry and mental health care into the mainstream of medicine and all aspects of life.

As much as we all might wish that mental health problems, with their elusive causes and unsettling behaviors, simply did not exist, millions of people suffer from them, sometimes to an extreme extent. Yet the vast majority of doctors receive minimal instruction in treating these conditions during their lengthy medical training. This mismatch ignores the clear overlap between physical and mental distress, and too-often puts psychiatrists on the outside looking in as the medical system continues to fail many patients. Dr. Tweedy argues for a more comprehensive and integrated approach where people with mental illness have a health care system that places their full well-being front and center.
