My Mother’s Legacy on Mental Health
我母親的心理健康遺產
Sean Astin has been carrying on his mom Patty Duke’s work—not only as an actor but as a mental health advocate.
肖恩·阿斯丁一直在繼承他媽媽帕蒂·杜克的工作，他不僅是一名演員，還是一名心理健康倡導者。
“My mother had bipolar disorder,and she was one of the first to go public about her experience,” Astin, 49, says of the Oscar winner, who died in 2016.
“我的母親患有躁郁癥，她是第一個將她的經歷公開的人，”49歲的阿斯汀這樣評價這位2016年去世的奧斯卡獎得主。
“The pain that my family endured because we were living with someone with a mental health condition
“我的家人因為和一個有精神疾病的人住在一起而承受的痛苦，
actually has become an important ingredient to my being able to offer support to other people.

I’m not speaking as an expert; I’m speaking from personal experience.”

“We’re a talky family,” he says. “We share our feelings. If someone has an issue, there’s no judgment.”
“我們是一個健談的家庭，”他說。“我們樂于分享自己的感受。如果有人有問題，沒有人會批評他。”
They’ve had plenty of time for those talks, he says:
