Jason Kander tells the (funny) story of when checked himself into a military psych ward for PTSD

Jason Kander was 'sorta' running to be President when he realized he needed to back out of politics because he was suffering from PTSD after a deployment in Afghanistan. His New York Times Best Selling book is called Invisible Storm, a Soldier's Memoir of Politics and PTSD.

In a humorous account of when he checked himself into a military psychiatric ward, he explains to Robyn Curnow why the doctor thought he was hear ing voices (President Obama really did suggest he should run for President.) With the benefit of perspective and a healthy dose of therapy, Kander talks about the army, mental health and fighting for America.
