Duress: My Career in Mental Health

"I could never do your job". Well, maybe you could and maybe you couldn't.

A 38-year journey through the front lines of mental health care, where bringing order to chaos isn't just a metaphor-it's the daily work.

Told through humour and anecdotes, this book offers a rare perspective: the side of healthcare that patients never see-the world of a front-line clinician.

Over the decades, I witnessed moments of profound hope, devastating loss, and everything in between. By the end of the book, readers will have a deeper understanding of serious mental illness and the dedicated people who care for them.
