"John M ("Mickey") Nardo, in his retirement, practiced psychiatry in a volunteer clinic
in the Appalachian hills of Georgia. "I worked in the clinics today," he wrote in
2012. "In the morning, I saw adults - a lot of them. I had three patients where the
central issue was unrecognized anti-depressant withdrawal syndromes." I had three
patients who'd been told they were 'bipolar' (who weren't)." But the high point of
the day came that afternoon. His last patient was an adult woman "with persistent
PTSD from a terrible event eight years ago that involved the death of her son. The
tension of undoing bad diagnoses and bad treatments all day just disappeared as I
talked to this woman about her illness. I felt like a doctor instead of someone putting
out brush fires, a case-worker in a social agency, or a med-check doctor"
