Recently, I’ve been addressing the topic of mental health in a big way. In this one, I wanted to tackle the common misconception that all (or most) psychological conditions, not only demand the very best of expert attention, but that they require long term therapy.

This is a stigma that has really hurt the psychiatric profession and led to a general state of hopelessness for those who suffer with various mental disorders.

Herein, I will detail just what can be accomplished with short term treatment.

This most recent batch of articles are in response to an incredible book I read that was just published on May 4th. It’s entitled We Can Do Better, written by Professor David Goldbloom at the University of Toronto. I was actually gifted an advanced reading copy of the it and was invited to offer a review. If that interests you, watch this:
