This is a series that essentially serves as my scratch pad about my work as a psychiatrist. These musings, opinions, and observations are all my own, not anyone else’s (like my employer, my colleagues, other psychiatrists, etc.). Read at your own risk: There’s a lot of meandering and blathering in there.

The initial prompt (for background):

Writing Prompts for August.

The series:

Workbook I: Thoughts about the definitions and functions of psychiatry.

Workbook II: Musings on how psychiatric diagnoses are made.

Workbook III: Ponderings about the relationship between suffering and physician time.
