Episode 6.01/6.02 – Broken
Air Date: September 21, 2009
FOX has a wonderful page on the House site that gives us links to the various places where we can find out more about the diseases and disorders talked about on the show. House is very helpful in spreading information about lesser-known illnesses. It can help those with the disorders to know more about it at times and that helps to also raise awareness for the disease.
I used to work with a guy whose daughter has Celiac Disease and his family was very happy that an episode of House helped to raise awareness for the disease and its need for money for research.
Because of Hugh Laurie’s history with depression, the show is a huge advocate of NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), so it’s not surprise that it has dealt on several occasions with mental health issues. This episode was very specific to the needs of the mentally ill. So I decided to share the links with you about the various diagnoses from the show, in case it can help you or someone you know.
Here are some of the places that you can find out more about these disorders and diseases that were touched on in the season premiere of this season of House:
