Mental Illness Is Overlooked in White-Collar Cases
INDICTED AND FACING PRISON.

I’m Dr. Marc Blatstein. I, too, spent time in Federal Prison, and now I’m here to help you on your journey; after the video, for more, check out PPSRUS.com.
My Takeaway: Prison is Temporary.
The information in this series and on PPRSUS.com (and PPRSUS Resources) is readily accessible and utterly Free to all. Should you wish to engage my services, my contact information is at the end.
Hiring a legal team doesn’t just mean they have experience; they also need a proven track record of successfully defending cases like yours.

· The choices you make today - will provide a better tomorrow.
It is essential to prioritize and evaluate cases where there’s abuse or trauma.

· Whether or not you believe it was a contributing factor, seeking an 'expert's recommendation' is crucial.

· Should you need an expert who would be accepted by the court, getting an expert recommendation from the prosecutor is wise, as it would make their attempt to challenge their results as the recommendation was theirs.

· High-strung white-collar defendants believe they are fine when they may not be.

· Therefore, getting that second opinion consultation is recommended for their benefit.

· This may also be when their list of prescriptions comes to light.

· Due to the high incidence of mental illness in functioning adults, both in and out of prison, addressing this issue now could be a significant mitigating factor.
FYI: Judges prefer to speak with and question the treating physicians rather than only experts at the sentencing hearing.
Is this you?

1. You’re exceptionally bright, prosperous, highly functioning, skilled, and motivated; you work long hours for acceptance, money, and privileges.

2. Are you an obsessive-compulsive perfectionist?

3. Do you suffer with depression and anxiety?

4. What was your drive to be personally and financially successful? Think back to growing up.

5. The result could be a generally law-abiding person who finds themselves engaging in inappropriate or illegal behavior.

6. With a proactive medical consultation, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder can be crucial before the presentence interview and sentence mitigation.

7. According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Sentencing Commission, only 6% of inmates were granted downward departures for diminished capacity (U.S.S.G. §5K2.13) despite 50% of inmates displaying symptoms of mental health issues. This raises crucial questions about the sensitivity of judges to mental health concerns.

8. Conversely, the problem could lie with defense counsel, who might not invest sufficient time in fully exploring their client's social and psychological history. -Tess Lopez, Probation Officer
