Here is the Web site of The Infinite Mind (actually it is the site of Lichtenstein Creative Media):

and here is some of what they have to say about this week's topic:

This week on The Infinite Mind, "Dying Before Our Eyes." We hear from health experts who tell us that incredibly people with serious mental illnesses are dying 25 years earlier than the rest of the population.
Plus a look at the common medical conditions causing these deaths. What are they, and how can they be prevented? And with this alarming mortality rate for this segment of the American population, why isn't more being done to address the problem?
We speak with Linda Rosenberg, President and CEO of the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare; Dr. Benjamin Druss, Rosalynn Carter Chair, Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University; and Dr. Joe Parks, Medical Director of the Missouri Department of Public Health.
