We begin the story of two conjoined minds—a brilliant neurologist and a famous author, both grappling with a version of madness—on their way to finding each other.
Writer William Styron and neurologist Alice Flaherty get blindsided by mental illness and, separately, decide to tell the world.
The unthinkable happens—a relapse. And William Styron finally finds a doctor he thinks can save him.
William Styron faces up to his greatest literary failure, while he and his doctor team up to conquer a baffling paralysis that could be medical or could be metaphor.
In the final episode of The Great God of Depression, William Styron clings to life in a triumph, of sorts, over depression. And Alice retreats from madness, for better or worse.
Co-producer Karen Brown sits down with the award-winning actor and television star Tony Shalhoub.
