Finding Color in the Darkness with Margaret B. Thompson

Margaret Thompson’s Finding Color in the Darkness is a report from the front lines of the battle against #mentalhealth disorders. Her son, John Fish, is a bright young boy growing up in an average American town, going to school, playing with his brother and walking his dogs on the beach each day. He grows into adolescence and slowly a dark sky seems to settle over him; he is complicated, sensitive and growing more silent every day.

Tune in for #MomentswithMarianne show with special guest Margaret B. Thompson as we discuss her new #book Finding Color in the Darkness: Losing My Son to Bipolar Disorder.

Margaret Thompson began her career in New York City at MTV. She married and left to raise her two boys, Tim and John, ultimately finding the calling of her life, teaching. Since the loss of her son, John, to suicide, she has dedicated herself to educating others about the importance of focusing on mental health as a medical, and potentially fatal, condition. https://www.facebook.com/findingcolorinthedarkness
