Glenn suffers from mental illness which did not manifest itself until the early 1990s.This initial diagnosis and medication were completely wrong.
In 2004, after a period of being over-medicated (based on the original misdiagnosis) with no positive results and a long period of unemployment, he was hospitalized 5 times in two separate institutions. There more medications were tried and was told nothing more could be done. It was not until the fifth visit where one special doctor looked beyond the charts and into his entire life that a correct diagnosis was discovered. The disorders were then clarified as anxiety and Obsession Compulsive Disorder
Through individual therapy it was discovered that he also suffers from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) occurring during a childhood medical experience and Adhd.
He writes freelance for various publications and also works part-time at St. Vincent’s Psychiatric Hospital in Harrison, N.Y. where he receives therapy and works with other consumers.
