FOX Television Series: Mental

Officially Premiers June 2, 2009

Dr. Jack Gallagher is a radically unorthodox psychiatrist who becomes Director of Mental Health Services at Wharton Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles. He takes on patients battling unknown, misunderstood, and often misdiagnosed psychiatric conditions.
Gallagher has developed a mysterious ability to get into the minds of his patients and see the way they see reality, allowing him to uncover what might be the keys to their long-term recoveries. This perspective leads Gallagher to offer strange treatments for his patients. These treatments threaten to break the hypersensitive environment of the hospital and generate serious conflicts with his boss Nora, who had a relationship with Jack previously.
Jack has to deal not only with his patients but also with Veronica, an ambitious and sexy psychiatrist who is his rival in the hospital, and Carl, an attending with a pristine image but who hides a deep hate for Jack. In addition, Arturo is a junior resident addicted to women, and Chloe is a young doctor whose sexual orientation makes her immune to Arturo’s moves on her.
