It points out even though I developed a mental illness I was still able to contribute to society in my own way as a mental health consumer representative. Things I Never Told My Doctor is the side of my life that I never discussed with my psychiatrist of 21 years or any psychiatrist or therapist of the 10 years prior. These events shaped how I felt about the people in my life. These events were by no means necessary to be problem solved or examined from another person#xE2;#xAC;"s perspective.
