Responsibility-Right Balance

I must confess that there is a group of patients with whom I have difficulty empathizing and establishing healthy communication: neither hallucinated, disorganized schizophrenics (a form of schizophrenia with a poor prognosis) nor excited manics (manic-depressive patients who become aggressive), on the contrary, they are mentally healthy. , adults who are intelligent but have not survived adolescence.

 

In principle, I refer adolescence patients aged 16 and under to my friends who are experts in child-adolescent psychiatry.
