Patrick J. Kennedy, son of Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, served 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and fought to end discrimination against mental illness and addiction. He was the lead sponsor of the groundbreaking Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. In 2013, he founded The Kennedy Forum, a non-profit organization determined to transform mental health and addiction care delivery. As co-founder of One Mind, Kennedy helped spark a revolution in how scientists collaborate to diagnose and treat brain diseases. Inspired by his work in both organizations, but still facing the daily struggle to fight stigma, Kennedy co-authored “A Common Struggle: A Personal Journey Through the Past and Future of Mental Illness and Addiction.” The narrative details Kennedy’s personal struggles as well as his bold plan for the future of mental health care in America. In 2017, Kennedy was appointed to serve on the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis.
