Dr. Ragnar, DNP, PMHNP. Founder of LiveWell Psychiatry & Men's Health. Sees patients in Oregon and Washington for ADHD, depression, anxiety, addiction, and the long tail after sobriety. Anti-soft-validation, pro-actually-fixing-the-thing. Believes the goal of treatment isn't lifetime management, it's making himself unnecessary. Writes here for the guys who know there's something going on, but haven't figured out how to say it yet.
