Description
'Powerful and poignant, this book is for anyone who has struggled with mental health challenges' Lori Gottlieb
'[An] invaluable book' Andrew Solomon
'A unique, hopeful, essential guide. You Are Not Alone is a treasure' Bruce D. Perry
This singular book is a powerful reminder that help is here, and you are never alone.
Millions of people across the world are affected by mental illness every year. Yet the mental healthcare industry remains chaotic, underfunded and often inaccessible, with many people asking themselves the same questions: What does it mean when different doctors give me different diagnoses? Will I be on medication my whole life? Will I ever feel better?
You Are Not Alone is here to offer help and compassion. Written by Dr Ken Duckworth, whose own entry into psychiatry was inspired by his father's lifelong battle with bipolar disorder, this comprehensive guide pairs medical expertise with the empathy of someone who gets it.
