researchers in 2009. Eric Morrow, MD, PhD, a
world-renowned molecular biologist and child
psychiatrist with a special interest in the
genetics of autism. He has a joint appointment

Neurology. We also recruited Sean Deoni, PhD,

As the medical school moves
toward consolidation into an
academic medical center, Butler
will continue to play a key role in
strategic planning for psychiatry.
In order to continue the
extraordinary growth of the
previous two decades, it is
important for Butler to embrace
the opportunity to work closely
with neuroscientists and other
researchers, as well as other
affiliated hospitals, to create an
internationally known center in
brain health sciences. It is equally
critical for Butler to continue to develop new
innovative psychological, psychopharmacologic,
and neuromodulating treatments such as the
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) clinic under
the direction of Dr. Carpenter; the new vaccine
treatment program for Alzheimer’s disease under the
direction of Stephen Salloway, MD, MS; and the
state-of-the-art cognitive behavior interventions
under the direction of Ivan Miller III, PhD, and
Richard Brown, PhD.

Valerie Knopik, PhD, discussed the role of genetics
in autism and ADHD.
As the medical school moves
toward consolidation into an
academic medical center, Butler
will continue to play a key role in
strategic planning for psychiatry.
In order to continue the
extraordinary growth of the
previous two decades, it is
important for Butler to embrace
the opportunity to work closely
with neuroscientists and other
researchers, as well as other
affiliated hospitals, to create an
internationally known center in
brain health sciences. It is equally
critical for Butler to continue to develop new
innovative psychological, psychopharmacologic,
and neuromodulating treatments such as the
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) clinic under
the direction of Dr. Carpenter; the new vaccine
treatment program for Alzheimer’s disease under the
direction of Stephen Salloway, MD, MS; and the
state-of-the-art cognitive behavior interventions
under the direction of Ivan Miller III, PhD, and
Richard Brown, PhD.
I look forward to working with my colleagues at
Butler Hospital, the medical school, and the
affiliated hospitals in continuing to build a world-
class brain science teaching, research, and
treatment center.
...it is impor tant for Butler to
embrace the oppor tunity to work
closely with neuroscientists and
other researchers, as well as other
affiliated hospitals, to create an
internationally known center in
brain health sciences.

PROFILE. Patrick Little
I
t was a fortunate twist of fate in 2007 when
Patrick Little was assigned an exclusive
interview with Terry Bradshaw, the four-time
Super Bowl champion who was in town speaking
about his battle with depression at Butler
Hospital’s Real Stories, Real Recoveries event. As
a sportscaster for WPRI, Little was looking
forward to asking Bradshaw the tough
questions—among them, what did he think about
the Patriots’ trade for Randy Moss? Instead, it was
Bradshaw’s personal story that turned Little’s
notions of mental illness upside down and started
him on a deeply personal, life-altering journey.
12
“I don’t want to think about what would have
To the public, Little was known as the smiling,
enthusiastic anchor whose love of sports shows in
every broadcast. Personally, he was the guy living the
American dream, with a successful career as WPRI’s
sports director, a beautiful wife, and two great
children. The reality was, his life was unraveling.
Underneath the front he upheld for friends and
family were feelings of anxiety and dread. Fears of
things like large crowds, and constant thoughts of
impending tragedy for his family and a dreaded
terminal illness for himself, filled his day. Years of
partying and drinking had also kept him away from
“My reaction was,
‘why doesn’t anyone
happened to me if I didn’t make that call to Butler.”
his wife and children. Patrick was on a path of
destruction for himself, his career, and his family.
By the time Little interviewed Bradshaw in
2007, things were getting worse. There were
addictions like drinking and chewing tobacco.
“Looking back,” he says, “the drinking and
other things I was doing were a way to mask
the pain. I actually thought it would make the
anxiety and depression go away, and I kept
doing it because I didn’t want to discover
something was really wrong.” When Bradshaw
spoke about his experience with depression,
says Little, “it was eye-opening.” It was
especially insightful when Bradshaw spoke
about his difficulty seeking treatment because
he felt, as a man, he should be able to handle
things on his own. Little says, “I left that interview
feeling like he was talking directly to me.”
ever talk about this?’”
That month, says Little, “I was getting ready for
work one day and just started crying
uncontrollably. It was like the pot of water that
finally boiled over.” He’d kept everything
bottled up for so long that when he finally called
13
Butler Hospital for help, it was a huge relief.
“I was in the deepest, darkest hole of my life.
I literally felt like the sky was falling on me. I don’t
want to think about what would have happened
to me if I didn’t make that call to Butler.”
Little began medication and therapy on an
outpatient basis and felt more like himself within
a month. Having the right care and the support
from his doctor and family, Little eventually felt
the courage to open up to a close friend about
his illness, only to find that that person knew
someone else who struggled with anxiety and
depression. “My reaction was,” he said, “‘why
doesn’t anyone ever talk about this?’”
Now Little is doing just that—sharing his story
in hopes of helping others. He explains, “Being
in the public eye, I guess I had a lot to risk by
being open about having a mental illness, but
it’s part of me. If my honesty can help just one
person, that would be great. Hopefully it will
open doors for many people to go and get
treatment.”
Little has also made lifestyle changes that help
him stay healthy. He no longer drinks alcohol or
chews tobacco. He understands how to manage
his illness. Using a sports analogy to explain
his continued recovery, Little puts it this way:
“Sports have rules, and I play by my new rules
now. I don’t want to go through that pain again.”

A ss the wife of former Massachusetts governor and 1988 U.S. presidential

story of addiction, by writing two courageous and candid books. First in
1990 she wrote, Now You Know, a memoir about her addiction to alcohol and

depression and subsequent return to health through electroconvulsive therapy
(ECT) treatments.
Kitty’s continued efforts to help people with brain-based illness get access to
