Mental Health DisABILITY

Perception vs Reality

By: Louis Bianco RN CPS

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Imagine that it is your responsibility to treat a mentally-ill child based solely on your perception. Imagine being allowed to mess up under the guise of psychology being an imperfect science. Can someone be disabled because of an inevitable mental illness, or is this person just a product of a flawed system that is still trying to figure out solutions? The safety of being in control with no repercussions often leads to impulsive decision-making and a lack of accountability. The phrase “perception is reality” has done more harm than good for our society. *********** “Talented artist and experienced clinician Louis Bianco's story about an individual's mental health journey is both incredibly riveting and positively captivating.
