Mental illness can affect anyone. No walk of life, career or privilege
offers immunity and one in four will experience mental ill health at
some point in their lives. Yet the stigma remains and discrimination is
still common. This book is an attempt to challenge that stigma and
inspire others. The pieces vary widely - from a straightforward account
of depression to the heartbreak of a parent at the loss of a child.
Poetry and prose combine to offer stories of suffering and pain, but
also hope, laughter and life. The authors are mothers, fathers, sons,
daughters and friends. They are everyone; all of us. This book could
save your life.
