On Being Invisible in the Mental Health System

Author(s):
Ann Jennings
Publisher(s):
Journal of Mental health Administration
The author provides a case study of her daughter’s sexual abuse as a child and subsequent experiences as a “chronically mentally ill” client in the mental health system. Information from 17 years of mental health records and anecdotal accounts are used to illustrate the effects of the abuse, her attempts to reach out for help, and the system’s failure to respond.
