Sounds Of A Mad Man: An Exploration of Mental Health

This book focuses on the struggle of living with mental illness, combining social stigma with internal suffering.By design, it is a difficult read. I want the reader to experience as accurately as possible the mindset of a person suffering from depression/anxiety. While there does seem to be a greater focus on the issue of mental health (at least, judging by current media campaigns), there is still a way to go to educate and empower both sufferers and the public alike. NHS services for mental health are stretched beyond breaking point, and many patients are falling through the cracks. I've lost friends and family who suffered, misunderstood and were let down by those around them and the services they were directed towards. This book is dedicated to them.
