We explore the anxieties of college student parents with Boston University Staff Psychiatrist Mathilde Ross, Eastern Kentucky University Clinical Psychologist Maggie Freeman, and University of Kentucky Psychologist Shannon Sauer-Zavala. Poet Lynelle Edwards discusses her latest book about life with an adult child with a mental illness. Drug pricing researcher Antonio Ciacia illuminates the costs of our meds. And Josh Douglas, host of our election year special series “Democracy Optimist,” is out with a new book detailing how recent decisions of the US Supreme Court have undermined American voters.
