In the genogram above, Conrad also has a line to Karen.
1. Even with our medical advances, the United States ranks 29th because of lack of health care for some individuals but also the lifestyle Americans have. Another reason is that class statuses correspond with our health outcomes. What I meant about this, is that lower and middle class individuals are exposed to more health threats than higher class.

On the contrary, Conrad’s mother, Beth, seems rather disinterested in Conrad seeking treatment altogether. This is odd, as one might assume a mother would be greatly concerned with the harmful behavior of their son, as self-harm doesn’t exceed far past suicide in
