Most of us are familiar with Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, an eighteenth century satirical novel in which the main character visits a series of strange countries, including Lilliput, where he is a giant among the diminutive-sized Lilliputians. In this country, Gulliver must attempt to adjust to a world where everything is much too small to accommodate his physical size and needs. Although that world might seem like a flight of fantasy that Swift created for satirical effect, the downsized world we inhabit in America today often makes it seem very real. If Swift were alive, he would probably think he had stumbled into the new Lilliput.

Events leading to hospitalization vary from person to person. Psychostimulant use is often a contributing factor. The context is important for understanding the illness. My intention in writing this blog is to share the experiences that I went through with my son, starting with the first manifestation of his illness and our journey through numerous subsequent episodes. Also, my purpose is to provide commentary as a parent and psychiatrist on issues that these experiences bring up, such as how the diagnostic process works in mental health, and how to work with treatment providers and medication issues. My hope is that reading this may be helpful for people with mental health issues and also their families and friends.
