Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe brain disorder that interferes with the ability to think, feel and behave clearly. Although the condition affects just one percent of the population, it is one of the most disabling diseases affecting people and families nationwide.

Shereen Siewert welcomes Stevens Point author Kenneth Farmer, a retired public defender and prosecutor to discuss his new book, Lee. Farmer’s latest release is a memoir that describes his own brother’s descent into paranoid schizophrenia and the ways in which his family learned to cope.
