Monica Cassani writes about what, and how much, it takes to be an empowered patient: “I was a mental health professional for so many years. That means I know how professionals think and I know what and how much it takes to become empowered as a patient… those few lovely honest souls who really get it and who still choose to be in the system can be a small beacon of light for people who are otherwise subjected to trauma everywhere they turn.”
