Story Behind The Book
I have worked in the field of mental health and addictions for a long time and I came to notice that the people in treatment represent a small fraction of the population giving the false idea that mental health and addiction issues are limited as such. This is not the case at all because with the varying degrees of intensity and severity, many more people are affected who for the most part do not appear to be in need of intervention. In some cases these people appear untroubled and appear to function acceptably and often times hold positions of great authority. This book is about such a person. Hope you enjoy reading it.
