Atlanta Psychiatrist Makes House Calls To The Homeless

Psychiatrists treat people of all walks of life for all kinds of issues. It could be anxiety, depression or other brain disorders like schizophrenia. But while the diagnoses and histories may vary, most psychiatrists see all their patients in one place ─ at their clinic or practice.

That’s not the case for Liz Frye with Mercy Care Atlanta. She’s one of just a handful of psychiatrists around the country who are taking their work to the streets. It’s often the only way to reach some of the most vulnerable people in our city: homeless people who live completely without shelter.
