Modern Madness Book Cover

On this episode of The Mountain Life, Terri Cheney talks about her latest book  MODERN MADNESS: An Owner’s Manual. Cheney, a once successful entertainment attorney representing the likes of Michael Jackson and Quicy Jones, has chronicled her lifelong battle with bipolar disorder in her books. COVID-19 has launched a second pandemic: a mental health crisis in America. Since the lockdowns started, calls to suicide prevention hotlines have gone up 1000%. Yet despite these alarming statistics, mental illness remains a clouded topic in our society.
