In his collection of short stories, M.D. Confidential (It's All Very Hush-Hush), Dr. Lawrence Matrick explores the topic of mental illness and how it is perceived in society. Our mental health is just as important as our physical well-being; so why, then, don't we want to talk about it? Why is it kept so very hush-hush? Dr. Matrick's stories examine this phenomenon and how it affects those whose mental health is in jeopardy.
From common maladies like anxiety and depression, to greater challenges such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive disorder, contained within this collection are a sequence of stories about mental illness that are designed to both illustrate and educate. Experience the uncertainty of a family facing their father's progression into Alzheimer's, the terror of a young man combating PTSD while surrounded by those who have no patience or understanding for his struggles, and the redemption to be found by a young woman given the care and resources she needs to overcome a substance abuse disorder.
After each tale, learn the medical/psychiatric facts of each condition, the challenges they and their loved ones face, and the recourses available to them from a professional in the psychiatric industry, Dr. Lawrence E. Matrick. Join the author in dispelling the stigma surrounding mental illness and the hush-hush attitude.
