At that time, I already had a personal blog based on my first book, Mad in America, and I began running other blogs.

I still use the DSM because I need to pay my bills and I cannot send a diagnosis to an insurance company and say, “This patient is deprived of accomplishments, purpose, and social interactions.” They just published what I believe is the most important psychopharmaceutical book of our time.

I was asked for my ID, insurance, and other things that hospital staff typically ask of a patient. I only had the clothing on my body, a folder, and a book.
