To know and dispense mental health is my job.
I am trained. Experienced. Vetted.
Clubhouse “Influencers on Mental Health”.
Really? Useless talk.
The marketplace steering people toward suffering.
Through what lens am I seeing mental health?
Who’s view am I assigning, ascribing, and prescribing?
The medical system’s? The culture’s? My own? Each patient’s?
For all it’s strangeness and limitations, 2020 was a year of clarity.
2021 is a deluge of questions and dilemmas.
Normally comfortable with public platforms
I can only be circumspect and closed-mouthed.
Continually riding internal storms and clashing thought waves
of doubt and certainty.
Both wrong and sticky.
In this I start my clinical day.
