With Mental Awareness week taking place currently from 18 – 24 May 2020, I am pleased to share this author’s book and what motivated the release of this book.
About the Book:
This book is all about creating mental health awareness, advocating for mental health and breaking the stigma attached to mental illness. It will enhance the reader with the understanding of self and those around you, and empower you to spot the early signs and symptoms of mental illness and seek early intervention. This book covers the following topics; importance of self-awareness in maintaining our mental well-being, stress and burnout, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, substance induced mental health disorders, and personality disorders, as well as the importance of holistic approach in the treatment of mental health disorders. In the last chapter the readers will meet different mental health professionals who share their experiences (both victories and challenges) in their lines of duty.
The true life stories of people living with mental illness and the author’s personal experiences with mental illness shared in this book is the author’s way of saying you’re not alone, there’s no need to be ashamed and fight your battle with mental illness alone in secret. Together we can make the noise, advocate for mental health and break the stigma attached to mental illness.
