This post is out of chronological order because I want to obscure some dates. I want to write about what I do and, technically, I am allowed to do just that so long as I endeavor to protect the identity of my clients. If at any point it seems that is not possible I’ll probably have to nuke the site.
I work as a clinical lead at a facility that treats individuals who are severally and persistently mentally ill (SPMI). For those unfamiliar, this primarily includes individuals who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia—and its handful of soon-to-be-obsolete-if-the-DSM-V-ever-comes-out subtypes. We’ve come a long way in 500 years when it comes to treating “madness”. My role is that of a counseler and case manager.
