1 post
Mental America is a true account of a 3-year experience as an ER Crisis Counselor. The job description was to interview homicidal and suicidal patients in a busy county hospital and make a recommendation to the attending ER doctor - let them go or send them to a lock-down psychiatric hospital!
Condensed into a 72-hour Labor Day Weekend, Mental America weaves together the most interesting patients encountered. Meanwhile, back at the condo, Leroy is visiting for the weekend and making a mess of everything!
Providing a unique perspective as an Emergency Room Crisis Counselor, the content addresses the relevance of psychotic meltdowns, which can affect anyone at any time.
