Outreach and “Enabling”
- If your insight and judgment have failed you because of the symptoms of your mental illness…
- If your brain’s reward circuitry has been physically altered…
- If your anosognosia has left you unable to comprehend you have an illness…
- If your coping skills have forced you to adapt to one bad circumstance after another…
…
then, you are not very likely to come seek help from the place that offers help for the problem that you don’t think you have.
- And, if you are not very likely to come to seek help from the place that offers help for the problem that you don’t think you have…
- We have to go to you, as it may be a matter of life and death.
- Death is a poor predictor of recovery.
