Publisher's Synopsis
Stuart Montgomery MD, the English psychiatrist said in a meeting that the United States is the only civilized country that doesn't take care of their mentally ill. He is right. But I'm not sure the US is a civilized country. I am looking for a protégé. Anyone who has the guts to work very hard and learn the right way to do things can apply.
The Protégé is about the state of Psychiatry in the US, no one wants to hear the way things really are, and how to improve things.
Psychiatrists are dying, retiring, or quitting Pretty soon, there won't be any psychiatrists at all. Interestingly the media talks about how important it is to improve mental health. Every day we hear about another person who has used a firearm to kill several people. Where is the effort to control this kind of behavior? For whatever reason, experts who could actually do things to improve the ongoing situation are not
involved and there is no plan to improve the situation. There is no treatment for the majority of seriously sick psychiatric patients. These are the ones that live under the bridge. There is nowhere for them to go. There is no treatment for them, and they wander aimlessly around until they decide to hurt somebody.
