Roger Cohen wrote an article for the New York Times in which he discussed that as a child he could not understand why his mother would howl and often be absent from the home for lengthy periods of time. As an adult he began to search for answers and discovered that after the birth of his sister his mother suffered from depression. He was able to secure her records from the sanatorium where she was hospitalized on several occasions. Cohen was dismayed when he saw her listed as patient #9413.
