I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I only have five minutes.
You take certain things for granted. I myself have had people come into my office who had been receiving ongoing care and intensive mental health follow‑up for 20 or 25 years, but who were still suffering. Why aren't these people allowed to be considered as full people who can make their own choices, choices that concern them?
When a person has been treated by a psychiatrist for 25 years, is taking medication, receives intense home-based follow‑up, has loved ones around them, and is still suffering, what hope can I offer that person for the future?
