NAMI Ask The Doctor: “I am Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help!” How to Help Persons with Mental Illness Accept Treatment and Services with Dr. Xavier Amador

Learn why some people living with mental illness believe they don't need help or see obvious symptoms, and how this can become an obstacle to helping them get help.

Dr. Amador will share information on overcoming this common obstacle using LEAP—Listen, Empathize, Agree and Partner.

He is the author of many popular books include I Am Not Sick, I Don’t Need Help about the LEAP method to overcome lack of insight into mental illness. It has been helping families help loved ones for years.
