APAPAC at Work for Psychiatric Patients and Profession
APA member Paul Wick, M.D. (left), meets with Lyle Thorstenson, M.D. (R-Tex.), an ophthalmologist running for Congress in Texas. Wick recently hosted an event for Thorstenson in the candidate’s home district, where both reside. The visit is part of an ongoing program at APA—through its political action committee, APAPAC—in which APA members educate federal and state legislators and policymakers about mental health issues.
