NAMI Athens Speaker Series at The Athens Public Library
How a Family Faces and Overcomes a Father and Husband's Late-Onset Schizoaffective Disorder
Speaker: Linda Schmitmeyer (accompanied by husband, Steve)
[cid:image003.jpg at 01D5096F.130A7550]Steve Schmitmeyer was a successful engineer and loving husband and father before he was struck by late-onset schizoaffective disorder in the 1990s. At the time, medications were crude and NAMI was fairly new. Wife and mother, Linda Schmitmeyer, chronicles the family's struggle to love, understand, and help Steve in Rambler: A Family Pushes through the Fog of Mental Illness. Linda's brave - often frustrating and thankless - struggle is an example for us, even today, when such situations more often than not lead to divorce and the disintegration of the family. She also shares in Rambler how Steve persevered to become again the loving father and husband he'd once been. For a preview of her talk, listen to her NAMI interview at namiathensohio.org (click on radio icon)
