The 21st century has brought about rapid advances in healthcare, technology, the discovery of various forms of alternative energy, and a million other things but one thing that has not advanced is the mental health care provided for that 10% of our population, the severely and persistently mentally ill.
Don't get me wrong, the rest of us could also benefit from better mental health care. However for the purposes of this blog, my focus is on that 10% that survive the atrocities that societies around the world inflict upon them everyday. These survivors are the people I see 5 out of 7 days of the week, and I love each and every one of them. This is why I must tell their story.....
