Q.What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
A.After writing my first three books which are out and took me 12 years to complete then I wrote two books which have not been released yet and are training manuals for doctors and other prescribe I wanted to write something totally different than the previous five books. Starting about 4 to 5 years ago I got the idea to write a book of storytelling, since each patient is in a sense a story, and so I have a lot of material. I was inspired to tell stories since I realized that this would be an excellent way to explain practically and, in real human terms, what science and what my previous books were all about.
Q.Can You Tell Us About the Book from Your Point of View?
A.My new book focuses on telling stories about people struggling with mental health issues. First, I talk about the subject at hand, then I launch into an original story. Some of the stories are based on the lives of patients I had treated over the years, and some are fiction. I have always wanted to write fiction, so I took this opportunity to do so. Each patient I have seen has their own unique background and story, which inspired me to write about them as well as others that I have not yet seen. I believe that the reader will be able to understand the subject better by hearing stories that can be relatable.
What Can Readers Expect from This Book?

These subjects are outlined in the subtitle: Addiction, Bullying, Homelessness, School Shootings and Suicide the reader can expect to get practical answers to common modern problems… I explain what has led to all of these problems and try to give answers as to what we can do about it. I also discuss Personality Disorders, which can be one of the underlying reasons for the more extreme manifestations of mental illness.

Q.What Do You Want the World to Know About Your Book?

However, I believe that what ails our society and be fixed.

We need to focus on the underlying problems if we hope to find cures.
Q.How Do You Think Your Book Relates to The World Today?

Q.What Do You Hope Will Be the Everlasting Thoughts for Readers Who Finish Your Book?
A.

People do not usually think of mental illness as a physical and chemical problem that can be easily treated with medications that I considered to be holistic, preventative and curatives.
Q.What Should Remain with Readers Long After Putting Your Book Down?
What I hope remains is a complete rethinking of this topic by understanding that this is a medical problem that people cannot help mostly due to genetic predisposition along with stressors in one’s life. I hope to reduce and hopefully eliminate the anti-medication mentality which is typically present due to the misconceptions about what psychotropic medications actually do. I want my readers to understand that no matter how bleak and hopeless their situation is that there is actually an answer that helps the vast majority of the time.
