Abstract
My dad had bipolar disorder and suffered very hard times. My family was fortunate that knowledgeable and compassionate care was available in a mental health facility where the staff saw my dad as a great person derailed by mental health challenges and helped him get well. While doing grand rounds I realized this experience was driving me and that I deeply wanted to work in community mental health, because that is what helped my dad.
