So I'm wondering what the ots do who work in the psych field. I've heard of ots working with depression and other psych disorders and working at psych hospitals. What do these ots actually do? I can't really see anything that an ot would do differently from a regular therapist in these places.. I'd like to set of some shadowing hours with one but I'm just wondering if anyone has shadowed or knows anything about it.
 
Mostly crafts, ADLs, and those sorts of things. It's different because it's not physical rehab but mental rehab.
