The Ends and Outs of Mental Health
()
About this ebook
I know that growing up in America, a good reporter, in order to get a good story, sometimes has to enter into the enemys camp so that we American people can get the breaking news. Also when in the military, we have to be a brave soldier. Well, I'm proud to be a fighter in the army of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I took both these two qualifications into consideration, and now I'm administrating it so that I can write this book.
Who knows how the world proceeds the mentally ill. First, you have to be it, but are you really it, meaning mental? Some would say it's mind over matter, but in my opinion, it's a moneymaking you fill in the blank. The question is, who is really benefiting?
Here's my story about the ins and outs of mental health patients. America, please keep in mind all patient are diagnosed as well as have different problems and situations that occurred or occurring. Remember, I'm not only writing to you America but to the God I serve.
Tonya Drummond
My name is Tonya Drummond. I was raised in Brooklyn, New York, to the late Haygood Reed and Patricia Ann Drummond, whom I love both daily and miss sincerely. To my brothers and sister, Roosevelt, Anthony, Samuel, Dwayne, Corey, and Rita my sister. My husband, Randolph, and Rodney Greene, who helped in our upbringing. As well as my children, Nefertiti, Quamel, Kyleek, and Kyle Anthony. I was inspired to write this book because of my mother, Mrs. Patricia Drummond, who said she would no longer be around for me to cry on her shoulder about medicine being prescribed. But she will be with me in spirit. So, America, I would like to dedicate this book to my mother, Mrs. Patricia Drummond, and my grandmother Fannie Mae Drummond by saying what they taught me, and that is “I refuse to rob Peter to pay Paul because honesty is the best policy.” I'm going to continue to live, for living is my dream.

CHAPTER 1
B eing released from my job in Manhattan without any explanation from the job in 1998. I said to myself, maybe because I was like 2-3 weeks into the pregnancy,
I guess. It didn't really make sense. Well
no income. America, I needed to feed my children and the one in my belly.
stomach so I was asked to work on the furniture moving truck by my uncle, Joseph Gause, along with him. I agreed, by the way America he passed away rest in peace, uncle I love you. However, I needed to feed my children, and he needed help. Yes America I risk losing my baby, but I didn't. Perhaps because of
my faith. At that time in my life I believe when I lost my job in Manhattan, that was a closed door, and another one opened in Jersey working with my uncle.
My God is good". Remember all things is possible for those who believe it. I filed for D.N.A testing for when I give birth. The courts gave me a court date. Afterwards the months passed, I had been blessed with another son. American i was a young mother in my mid-twenties with now three children. I visited people to show them the baby, Since i couldn't work for a while with my uncle. my uncle manage for me and without me of course. My mother didn't want to really help because she was disappointed. Yes, she help thank the Lord for mothers.
It was time now to take my children to the doctor. Yes, I took all my children to the clinic to get their check-up. The doctor was examining the children, She asked what formula I was administering to my baby. I told her carnation milk and other vitamins and minerals mixed in it. America this is what i was raised off of, and this was all i could afford at that time. I'm not going to go into details America but she didn't like it. She the doctor
totally disagreed with the milk. She wanted the baby on some program called W.I.C. Which i think it stands for Women, Infants, children. To sum it up America it's food they feel is nutritious for the pregnant women and milk for the baby who they feel carnation milk probably didn't meet their standard, or approval, I just might say.
Anyway, however, nevertheless, I applied back then for this program. Let me enlighten all those who don't know, you must have a certain income to receive this service. However, nevertheless please keep in mind I was young and some would say poor. But I considered myself as a victim of circumstance. So therefore I did as I was told, by my mother not the doctor. Time past, it was now time for another examination. I kept my appointment. She the doctor''.did the examination and then she told me to dress the baby. I then dress my child to get ready to go home, while my oldest two children watched. I then asked the doctor, I said
do the baby need any shots,
meaning immunization''.
She didn't answer me. She then told me to wait in
