"Phyllis Babineaux, MSW, LCSSW, a social worker who has helped the mentally ill for 13 years, says, “There’s a big gap between when patients first recognize symptoms and when they get help.” She has diagnosed depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, grief, ADHD and many more disorders, in her private practice, where 75 percent of her clients are under 25.
