    I've seen many psychiatrists and other health professionals over the years, and I can say with confidence that I wouldn't have survived high school if it weren't for the intervention of Dr Tawni Frank specifically. She was the first person to take a genuine interest in possible sources of my distress rather than just scolding me like everyone else seemed to. The stereotypes that had mislead everyone else did not deter her, and she started me on treatment for adhd. And she was right; like so many bright young women with adhd, I had gone undiagnosed and had internalized the difficulties I was having, became depressed / anxious as a result. As a matter of fact, I had a classmate in our high school’s rigorous program with a loose and unaddressed adhd diagnosis who was not so lucky as to work with Dr Frank. That classmate got into self-medicating with cocaine and other substances to keep up with the demanding workload, and ended up committing suicide more than half way through our program. Dr Frank’s diagnosis for me was later confirmed by an official full psychoeducational assessment conducted by a psychologist. The assessment also uncovered the specific learning disability, dyslexia. No one else had even suspected either. I am so grateful that Frank listened to me, and advocated for me when guardians, teachers and other doctors had just attributed my poor academic performance to 'not trying hard enough'. Suicides in youth with invisible disabilities are preventable tragedies. Everyone deserves the chance to work with someone like Dr Frank. The world would be a much better place if more psychiatrists were like her.
