TPT#447 - It Was Manageable Suicidality (Mental Health Treatment, Pt. 2)

We continue our discussion of George's mental health care over his life, from his first access to anti-depressants during grad school, through to more modern behavioral, somatic, and pharmaceutical strategies that have helped him.

They did not meet the expectations, so we needed to enforce the consequences, but we still care about them, so we tried to be kind in doing so. The second part of this story follows next week!
