Today, we have  on with us, Lynn Nanos, Author of “Breakdown”, A Clinician's Experience in a Broken System of Emergency Psychiatry. Lynn is  a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in her eleventh year as a full-time mobile emergency psychiatric clinician in Massachusetts. After graduating from Columbia University with a Master of Science in Social Work, she worked as an inpatient psychiatric social worker for approximately seven years. She is an active member of the National Shattering Silence Coalition that advocates for the seriously mentally ill population. She serves on its Interdepartmental Serious Mental Illness Coordinating Committee committee and co-chairs its Blog committee. Subsequent to Lynn’s extensive knowledge into the Mental and Psychological issues which has become an epidemic in America, we have decided to hold a three-part series in order to delve deeper into the diagnostic symptoms, causes and ultimate results of mankind’s problems in today’s society.  Welcome Lynn. Could you please tell us how you came to be a Social Worker and some of the things along the way that brought you to the writing of your Book?
