question:
David Dobbs' new feature in our October 2017 issue  "The Touch of Madness " tells a story that is both heartbreaking and uplifting  and all too familiar: A young woman with a bright future temporarily loses herself in mental illness  and finds the fraying of her social bonds to be more durably worse  in some respects  than the underlying condition itself. That young woman  Nev Jones  manages to pull herself out of the bottom of the well  finishing graduate school and going on to become a key advocate and scholar among reform-minded thinkers in the world of mental-health treatment and policy. But it wasn't easyâand wouldn't have been possible without the ideas and support of the practitioners and scholars she found shortly after her mental illness derailed her graduate studies.
Your story describes how  the mental-health researcher and activist Nev Jones (and a growing number of others)  are pushing for the medical establishment to think about schizophreniaâor related diagnoses of "madness " as  they  are known colloquiallyâin a radically new way. What is new about it  and what makes it so radical?
 Nev Jones  and other scholars and advocates like  her  want us to see what  they  call madness  meaning schizophrenia  bipolar  and other serious mental ailments  less as biological phenomena  and more as cultural phenomena.  They 're asking us to see these phenomena not only as a breakdown of brain connection  as  they 're typically cast in the West  but as breakdowns in social connection.  They  want us to see how culture shapes madness: People with schizophrenia simply do worse in societies that define schizophrenia as primarily biological and that isolate people who are mad.
Who is  Nev Jones   how did you find  her   and how did  she  come to these ideas?
A few years ago in 2012  after the mass shooting in a movie theater in Aurora  Colorado  I wrote a blog post for Wired about how it's not coincidental that some of the sickest and most paranoid and angry people who go mad in the U.S. resort to violenceâwith guns in particular. It's an expression of madness that does not happen in places that are less gun-oriented and less violent overall. The idea was that culture shapes the expression of madness in that way. It got a lot of pushback  so I did another iteration of the blog post  and in doing that I looked around the Internet to find people who articulated the same idea better than I did  and one of those people was  Nev Jones .  She  had related some episodes from  her  own descent into madness that were helpful in illustrating what I was trying to say.
At the time  she  was a graduate student and still in the middle of  her  recovery from a psychotic episode that  she  had in grad school  after the school bungled a few things in response to  her  psychosis and proved far from helpful. The societal response in  her  case seemed to aggravate  her  deep psychotic state that lasted for some time.  She  was able to climb out of that by connecting to other people and by studying and absorbing  herself  in the literature on how culture shapes madness.  She  connected with other people who studied it and wanted to get the word out.  She  proved effective at this  finishing  her  studies in community psychology at DePaul University  and then becoming more well known in what some people call the madness community. These are people who study it and advocate for those who have had it  whom they call people with lived experience.
 She  ended up getting an invitation to go to Stanford University's anthropology department. What  she  was doing was tapping into a couple of decades of increasingly busy and deep work in academia  looking at how cultureâbroadly definedâaffects our view of madness  in particular how it affects the experience of people who have schizophrenia. In Nev Jones  I found someone who was by all accounts one of the most dynamic and exciting experts in the field  and  she  was also someone who lived through this and had deep insight both from  her  scholarship and from  her  experience of becoming very sick for a couple of years  and used  her  insights on how cultures shapes madness to climb back out of  her  illness to a state of high-function and happiness.
 Nev  and  her  peers are not making the case that physical characteristics like genes and brain chemistry are not involved.  She 'd tell you  of course the brain is involved  and we need to deal with that  sometimes with medication. But overlooked in the West's heavy emphasis on the biological definition of madness and other mental illnesses is how vital social connections are to the experience of mental illness. When people have mental illness in the U.S.  especially if it's a psychotic disorder like schizophrenia  one of the first things that happens is their social networks fall apart and they're left alone precisely at the time when they most need social connections. If you start to understand these things  it should change how you think societyâfriends and family  the broader culture  as well as the medical cultureâshould evaluate and respond to someone experiencing first-episode psychosis.
 Nev Jones  told you about how a mass shooting involving someone diagnosed with schizophrenia shaped others' perceptions of  her  during  her  first episode  while  she  was in graduate school. What does the media tend to get wrong about incidents like the one in Las Vegas just this week? We don't know anything about the shooter's motives yet  but the conversation on social media has quickly turned to mental illness  per usual.
Where did the conventional wisdom that folks like  Nev  are trying to revise come from? Describe the intellectual history you explored for this piece.
Aside from the constant warfare over funding for health care in Congress? In the psychiatry establishmentâthe American Psychiatric Association  for instanceâthere is a heightened awareness with every passing year. That's one of the main goals for  Nev Jones  and other people who advocate along these lines: to increase awareness among the psychiatric establishment  partly so the establishment is more open to making people with lived experience meaningful and full partners in any organization that makes decisions about how to respond to mental healthâwhether it be a board that's trying to help create a first episode psychosis clinic  or a clinic that is going to treat or work with psychotic people. Right now  if you have psychosis and you're in this profession  it's seen as a reason not to include you in treatment level activity  whereas it should actually be seen as a plus  because of the greater understanding and credibility that you'll have with a patient. It's encouraging that the APA is looking at this more.

Nev Jones


question:
Stars gathered Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles for the 45th annual American Music Awards  hosted by  Tracee Ellis Ross . Jamie Foxx and his daughter opened  the show  by talking about the tragic events of the year  including shootings  hate crimes and natural disasters.
 "Black-ish" star Tracee Ellis Ross  took the stage in a larger-than-life bronze gown.  She  said it was a particularly special night for  her   explaining  " My mother   the extraordinary  Diana Ross  is getting a lifetime achievement award."
"We are the first ever mother and daughter who have ever hosted  the American Music Awards " Ross  pointed out. " She  did it twice  but there's always next year."

 Ross  admitted  she  was worried about hosting the AMAs because  she  doesn't have an entourage  a stage name or a feud with another star.
 Ross  said the show would especially celebrate women and cracked  "There's going to be some men singing too."  She  said the show would be full of "women who take up space  trailblaze and blaze trails  women with expansive and powerful voices."  She  introduced Demi Lovato's performance.
 Lovato  got up from the audience as the AMAs stage showed hateful tweets directed at  Lovato .  She  walked up to the stage to join  her  dancers and sang "Sorry Not Sorry" against a light-up sign that flashed "Sorry Not Sorry."
 Tracee Ellis Ross  introduced Viola Davis to the stage. Davis talked about Whitney Houston and her movie "The Bodyguard" and said  "The movie has become iconic  thanks to its soundtrack  the best-selling movie soundtrack of all time. What a voice Whitney had  what an artist."
 Ross  returned to joke that the next season of "black-ish" would be filmed on the side of the J.W. Marriott.
Following that  former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama sent in a congratulatory video message to  Diana Ross .
" Her  artistry resonates with everyone ad today  her  voice is still as pure   her  beauty is undeniable and  her  showmanship is on point " said Mrs. Obama.
 Singer Evan Ross  kicked off a tribute to  his  mother   Diana Ross .
"What do you get when you cross a chart-topping singer  trailblazing style icon  record-breaking pioneer international superstar and an all-around boss? Everybody you get my mom   Miss Diana Ross  "  Evan  said.
A video montage of  Diana Ross 's life played which included childhood and early career photos before playing a throwback clip from Oprah's daytime television show telling  Ross   she  inspired  her  and that  she  grew up wanting to be just like the singer. The video continued with  Ross  voicing over the highlights of  her  career and life: "Through it all  there has always been music " said  her  voiceover before the projection screen lifted and  Ross  launched into  her  song  "I'm Coming Out." Then  Ross  sang "Take Me Higher" and "Ease on Down the Road." The 73-year-old continued  her  medley of hits and sang "The Best Years of My Life" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and brought  her  grandchildren onstage with  her . Then  she  asked  her  children to join  her  onstage: "Come on up "  she  called out to  her  family members.  She  also called on Smokey Robinson and Berry Gordy to take the stage.
 Diana Ross  accepted the award and said  "This is all about love. This says it all. This is my family. And I'm sending love out there to all of you each and every one of you  our global family â¦ I feel so humbled by this. I love you so very much." Her grandson  Raif-Henok Emmanuel Kendrick  told her he loved her as the show came to a close just as 11 p.m. ET rolled around.
