On the Dole
What happens to people who are caught up in a mental condition that renders them disabled in midlife? After working as a mental health professional for years, Donna Johnson found herself debilitated by bi-polar disorder. She lays out in eye-opening detail the dilemma that being unstable and on a welfare income poses to an otherwise sane woman—one who understands full well what is happening to her and her friends and family.
