WASHINGTON (AP) — A Michigan congress-
woman said drugs for treating her manic depression
once ate up half her family’s income. A mother said
it took three years to find the right specialist in
Nashville, Tenn., for her son’s mental problem.
Against a backdrop of such testimony. President
Clinton asked Congress on Monday to ensure that
Americans with mental illness get the same health
benefits they now have for a broken leg or an asth
ma attack.
Without proper treatment for mental illness, he
told a White House conference, “the loss of human
potential is staggering.”
The conference was led by Tipper Gore, Vice
President A1 Gore’s wife, whose role in advising
Clinton on mental illness took on a personal dimen
sion when she recently disclosed she had suffered
clinical depression after her son was hit by a car 10
years ago.
Mental illness is “the last great stigma of the 20th
century,” she said, noting how cancer and then AIDS
were once unmentionable in many families. “Most
people treat someone with a mental illness as if it’s
their fault or as if they can just snap out of it.”
The conference, drawing mental health profes
sionals together here and in cities across the coun
try who were linked electronically, focused on mak
ing people understand that mental illness is a sick
ness much like any other — “a real disease of a real
organ, the brain,” as one panelist put it — and that
no one should feel shame or suffer discrimination
for getting treatment.
Clinton is seeking expansion of a 1996 law which
prohibits health plans from setting lifetime payment
caps that are higher for physical illnesses than for
mental illnesses. He wants to prevent insii
companies from imposing other limits, such
number of hospital days or doctor visits allov
mental treatment.
A bill to eliminate distinctions between pi
and mental coverage is pending in the Sens
the Republican-led Congress has been waryo : o vere <
ly expansions of health care. The health insi wage ,
industry is also worried about mandated beni^amo:

In a:
WASHINGTON (AP)
Injections of neural stem cells, a
so-called master cell that can
mature into any type of brain tis
sue, may be able to restore neu
rons killed by Alzheimer’s and
other diseases that affect the whole
brain, laboratory studies with mice
suggest.
Dr. Evan Y. Snyder of
Children’s Hospital and Harvard
Medical School in Boston said the
laboratory study shows that the
neural stem cells will convert
themselves into whatever type of
cell the ailing brain needs, restor
ing functions that have been lost to
disease, injury or birth defect.
‘‘The neural stem cell has the
ability to become a whole range of
cell types in the brain,” said
Snyder, the lead author of a study
appearing Tuesday in Proceedings
of the National Academy of
Sciences. ‘‘The neural stem cell
can accommodate all different
regions of the brain and insert
itself appropriately into the fabric
of the brain.”
“The neural stem
