'Everything you have always wanted to know about mental health but were afraid to ask' - Stephen Fry Are you plagued with these questions? -- HOW CAN I COPE WHEN LIFE THROWS ME OFF COURSE? HOW CAN I SEEK HELP? HOW CAN I SUPPORT A LOVED ONE? Our mental health is at times robust, at times incredibly vulnerable, and always essential to our very being. This informative and entertaining insider's guide is a rich and truthful exploration of mental health - informative but at the same time full of humour, candour and hope. The unique combination of dialogue between the authors - one a sufferer from manic depression (also known as bipolar disorder), the other his doctor - alongside a comprehensive A-Z section, provides a fascinating insight into the subject, and contains a wealth of information on prevention, treatments, and advice on how and where to get help. Topics include: the symptoms of illness, denial, relationships, self-esteem, suicide, creativity, alcoholism and addiction; handled with warmth and humanity throughout. Ultimately, Jeremy Thomas and Tony Hughes hope that The A-Z Guide to Good Mental Health will simply help a few people in the same boat.
