Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety and Florence
Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to Deepika
Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or are
living with mental health disorders.
The biographies in this book show that you can't always tell what a
person is going through, and that mental health conditions can and do
impact people from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help
remove some of the stigma around mental health, discuss different
mental health conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and
ultimately to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold
anyone back from achieving their dreams.
The figures featured are from a range of diverse backgrounds and
disciplines across science, literature, art, music, sport, politics and
popular culture. Additional feature pages will explain and explore key
mental health conditions including depression, bipolar disorder,
obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating
disorders.
