TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Good Will Hunting slams into Pulp Fiction at 500 mph."
Tripsy South is a super-smart and thinking seventeen-year-old girl with a hyperkinetic knowledge of suicide in teens, especially girls. This Indigo child's special knowledge is accompanied by a caustic and devastating wit that often draws blood from nearby souls.
One day, out of the blue, she descends into the office of Dr. Jon Moore, a middle-of-the-road psychiatrist in Santa Barbara, California, who treats troubled children and suicidal teens. She then begins a year-long series of in-depth psychiatric sessions that test Dr. Moore's last raw nerve.
He has written his own unpublished manuscript about this taboo subject, yet he gets schooled on every level by this precocious expert on all elements of teen suicide.
Unsure about how to react to Tripsy's unusual behavior, let alone how to treat her, Dr. Moore embarks on a deep emotional journey that forces him to examine his own past, present and future, not only as a psychiatrist but as a human being.
Structured as doctor's personal notes, WTF, Dorkus! takes you on a wild roller-coaster ride of emotions, thoughts and beliefs, and introduces some hard facts about American teens in the throes of anxiety, depression and suicidal behavior.
Will Dr. Moore survive this young girl's storming into his life and educating him in ways he never imagined?
What will become of Tripsy who, as she informed Dr. Moore on day one, has only one year left in her?
In the end, we can't help but look around in disbelief and go, "WTF just happened!?"
Just in time for National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in September; National Suicide Prevention Awareness Week, September 9-15; and World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, 2019.
