Back pain doesn't care if you are a member of the US Congress, anxiety doesn't care if you chair the House Armed Services Committee. American politician Adam Smith knows from experience. Fearing backlash, for years he kept his struggles and hopelessness a secret. After seeing more than 100 doctors over 6 years, Smith finally found the right treatment for his physical and emotional pain. He tells Jesse Mulligan that to get his body right, he had to get his mind right, too.
