Extra: The Reiner Murders And America’s Addiction & Mental Illness Crisis

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Radio

The murders of movie director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, have shocked not just Hollywood but the world. The suspect accused of stabbing them to death is their 32-year-old son, Nick, who has a long history of mental health issues and addiction, including at least 18 trips to rehab and periods of homelessness. The tragedy has put an even bigger spotlight on America’s drug and mental health crisis. Earlier this week, Dr. Daniel Bober, a forensic psychiatrist and addiction medicine physician, joined the Rundown’s Dave Anthony to discuss the Reiner case and his experience treating the children of celebrities who struggle with mental illness and substance abuse. Dr. Bober also talked about the challenges families face as they cope with addiction and mental illness, and the treatment options available to them. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation.
