DSM-5 And Somatic Symptom Disorder | Mad In America.

This has been my experience with too many clients to count or remember. I find it incredibly scary that many of my clients come away from a visit to a psychiatrist with a label, a prescription, and only occasionally, a referral to a therapist of some flavour.

I am often amazed at the courage my clients exhibit in their pursuit of a healthy mind and peaceful life.
