WHO’S CRAZY NOW

2 PARAGRAPHS 4 LIBERTY: 425

In my 25 years sitting as a trial court judge in Orange County, California I would often encounter situations in which parents had problems with their children’s mental conditions and/or substance abuse. Honestly, I wish that I had read Susan Rueb and Todd Clements M.D.’s book WHO’S CRAZY NOW: A family’s story of tragedy, love, hope and perseverance (2024) long ago because it would have helped lead many caring parents out of their wilderness of despair. So, in that regard, I am hereby recommending it to you and people you might know who have similar complicated problems.

The Forward to the book was written by Earl R. Henslin PsyD, MFT, who is also the author of This is Your Brain on Joy and is the Founder of the Henslin Clinic in Brea, California. It is as follows:

“A war is raging today among America’s children and adults who are being misdiagnosed and treated for mental illness when the underlying condition is overlooked. Every day, doctors prescribe medication without examining the organ that is being treated . . . the brain. These medications are aimed at controlling behavior but do little or nothing to bring healing. Some medications can ultimately be damaging to their physical health.

“As you read this book, your heart will be touched by the struggle of Kristin Rueb and her loving parents, Susan and Jerry, who searched to find the answer to their daughter’s troubling behavior. You will be impacted when you learn how they found Dr. Todd Clements, who is one of the few psychiatrists in the United States who is actually looking at how the brain functions in his practice. His diagnosis helped turn the tide on thirty years of misdirection and frustration.

“As you read this book, you will be moved to buy copies of this book and send them to your legislators and congressmen and women . . . write letters to your elected officials to help bring needed change to our health care system; so that Kristin’s story is not repeated. Who’s Crazy Now is a must-read book for every parent, psychiatrist, psychologist and pastor.” (And trial court judge!)
