David Haldane on his son's mental illness

Orange County journalist David Haldane writes in this month's Orange Coast magazine about the journey into the mental health system with his son Drew. "The call I feared finally came late on a Friday. I was at the edge of sleep in my Los Alamitos condo when a ringing phone jolted me back into consciousness. I got my bearings, and sat up straight. Oh God, I thought, It’s finally happened," he writes. "The voice on the other end offered little comfort. 'I’m a nurse at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital,' she said. 'Don’t panic, but we have your son.'" Haldane also talks about his son on this weekend's Off-Ramp on KPCC.
