Tom, I haven't been reading nearly as much(actually, no books at all, lately)as I did pre-meds; especially before depression DX 20 years ago. I will read your book, though. Okay, I'll try. ALRIGHT, I'll at least read the jacket.
Timely post you've made. I was diagnosed with depression for all these years. A few weeks back, I presented with bipolar symptoms and find it hard to believe that pdocs far and wide have missed the ups and downs along with PTSD beacons I was sending. Maybe the DSM 'XII' will be one page before it's all over.
I think about the old souls(chronologically young)
that will travel the path many of us have. Although our conditions are 'gaining acceptance'(BS) according to many authorities, I see, hear, and experience as much discrimination as ever. Actually more discrimination because I don't 'hide' my illness. I won't get into the parity issues...grrrrrr. I will send up a prayer for the young.I'm kind of random today so I'll close this post.
I am glad you are here. Congrats on the play and the book: A bittersweet congrats.Phil
ps...Questions? Do you have a particularly embarrassing, ie. funny story that stands out in your mind in relation to a med SE manifesting itself publicly? I have a few and will share if you will.
pss...I 'will' read your book and good luck w/ the play. Peace
