“I could never do your job.”
Maybe you could. Maybe you couldn’t.

Duress follows a 38‑year career on the front lines of mental health care — a world where bringing order to chaos is the daily work. Told through humour, lived experience, and the stories clinicians rarely share, this memoir offers a view of mental health that patients never see.

Across decades, Scott Watson witnessed moments of hope, moments of loss, and everything in between. By the end, listeners gain a deeper understanding of serious mental illness and the people who show up every day to care for those living with it.
