Description
Author Tanya Frank joins Zibby to discuss her gut-wrenching and compassionate new book Zig-Zag Boy: A Memoir of Madness and Motherhood, which chronicles her son Zach’s sudden and inexplicable psychotic break at age 19 and her journey to accepting the mysteries of his altered states. Tanya talks about the day of the psychotic break and what her son had been like before it (precocious, kind, and UCLA-bound), her fear that their move to the US impacted him negatively, and her desperate quest to find an answer. She also shares her thoughts on our flawed medical system and archaic mental health laws and gives an update on Zach.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/3SIhFfKPurchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/41AuhJVSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
