Guest: Lindsay Mary Galvin Rauch, Mental Health Advocate/Speaker

“ I draw inspiration from my upbringing with ten older brothers, six of whom bravely fought schizophrenia. Sharing my story and journey can make a positive impact. Let's break the stigma together.”


Many years ago, Lindsay Mary and her sister, Margaret Galvin, decided they wanted to share their family story in the hopes it would reduce or eliminate the stigma associated with schizophrenia and mental illness for other families. They also wanted to give hope to those who have been traumatized by these brain disorders. After selecting Bob Kolker to be the journalist to bring their story to life, they never imagined their story would become a New York Times bestseller. This profile has resulted in significant interest to transition their story into a documentary and mini-series which they hope will accelerate and deepen the conversation around mental illness enabling thousands more to benefit from our pain and experience coping with this reality.


We ask:

  •  your journey, especially your life now as an adult sibling
  • What part does anosognosia play in your family story with SMI?
  • The documentary based on the book - what would you change?
  • Your work as an advocate and speaker
  • what you would say/advice to adult siblings of those with SMI


NOTE: Episode with Bob Kolker is #25
Episode with our daughters: #19
