Eleanor Rosalynn Carter (née Smith; August 18, 1927 November 19, 2023) was an American activist and humanitarian who was the first lady of the United States from 1977 to 1981, as the wife of President Jimmy Carter. She was a leading advocate for women's rights and mental health. In March 1977, Carter gave her first interview since becoming first lady. She outlined her goals in focusing on mental health: "For every person who needs mental-health care to be able to receive it close to his home, and to remove the stigma from mental-health care so people will be free to talk about it and seek help." Carter served as an active honorary chair of the President's Commission on Mental Health. She testified before a Senate committee, making her the second first lady to appear before the Congress. Of her priorities, mental health was the highest. Working to change the nature of government assistance to the mentally ill, Carter wanted to allow people to be comfortable admitting their disabilities without fear of being called crazy. Time called her the "second-most powerful person in the United States." Carter's husband called her an equal partner. After leaving the White House in 1981, Carter continued to advocate for mental health and other causes, wrote several books, and became involved in the national and international work of the Carter Center. In 1987, she founded the Institute for Caregivers, to inform and support the efforts of caregivers. The first thing you need to know is that life isn't over. "The good news," writes Mrs. Carter in Helping Someone with Mental Illness, "is that with proper diagnosis and treatment, the overwhelming majority of people with mental illness can now lead productive lives." Based on Mrs. Carter's twenty-five years of advocacy and the latest data from the Rosalynn Carter Symposia for Mental Illness, her book offers step-by-step information on what to do after the diagnosis: seeking the best treatment; evaluating health-care providers; managing workplace, financial, and legal matters. Mrs. Carter addresses the latest breakthroughs in understanding, research, and treatment of schizophrenia, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mental disorders. She also discusses the emotional and psychological issues in caregiving for people with mental illness and offers concrete suggestions to help erase the prejudice and discrimination based on misinformation about mental illness. Her book is also a rich clearinghouse that guides readers to hundreds of specialized resources, including organizations, hot lines, newsletters, videos, books, websites, and more. Tony Randall, Margot Kidder, Betty Ford, Kay, Mike Wallace, C. Everett Koop,and Joanne Woodward have all sung the praises of Rosalynn Carter's volume, Helping Someone With Mental Illness. People find this to be a truly compassionate guide for family, friends, and caregivers. The former first lady and cowriter Susan Golant set out to write a book that fights "myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes about mental illnesses" and that provides information, inspiration, and hope for those of us who live with and support persons with mental illness. Why is this book so effective? The voices of persons with mental illness speak in every chapter. Mrs. Carter weaves these stories and voices with text that melds the feelings and experiences with facts and data. The facts and data are presented in clear, simple language, appropriate both for the uninitiated and for the seasoned veteran of mental illness. Mrs. Carter traverses the dichotomies of nature versus nurture, of biological versus psychological, with the skill and precision of a slalom skier negotiating narrow turn after narrow turn. Even though I knew the facts and have heard many stories, I could not help but read on. The voices touched and moved me, opening my heart and mind to the information that followed. The book first addresses stigma. Within that section, the chapters cover issues in seeking treatment for mental illness. The basics of recognizing and coping with mental illness are spelled out: the warning signs, working through denial, and finding the right help. The chapter on what to do "after the diagnosis" addresses issues in the workplace, insurance, and the importance of knowing the legal considerations during potential emergencies. The second section, called New Treatments, New Hope, focuses on specific illnesses including schizophrenia, depression, manic-depression, and anxiety disorders such as panic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although the authors emphasize psychopharmacologic and psychosocial treatments, including psychotherapy, they present some information on the causes, epidemiology, and course of these illnesses. The final section addresses prevention, caregiving, and advocacy. The "emotional dilemmas" of caregiving detail how family members or friends can cope with their guilt and sadness constructively. A series of helpful appendixes includes a listing of other common mental illnesses, a glossary, and other resources. Mrs. Carter brings us into the world of her experiences in working with people who have mental illnesses and their friends and caregivers. It is a decent, gentle, empathic, and knowledgeable world. Family members, consumers, and other interested people can all benefit from and enjoy this accessible, comprehensive, and sensitive volume.
