It is nothing to be treated lightly. To do so would be insensitive. I was quite surprised on the author's use of descriptive language. I am so used to doctors writing being so frank and succient that Dr. Slater descriptions surprised me. The stories were all heartbreaking in their own right. I felt bad for the schizophrenic who was once a genius and, could sometimes sense, what exactly he had lost and the depressed mother of two who is going have to endure a lifetime of perpetual depression just to have a few days of happiness. Even Dr. Slater's own tragic past of abandonment and mental health illness was interesting as it showed an intregal part of how she treats and empathizes with her own patients. How can one person overcome their mental roadblocks and others remain stuck on the other side?
