It's not you, it's the mental health system. You are normal. Anyone in your position would feel the same. This is the seemingly radical premise of Your Journey, Your Rules - but scratch the surface, and nothing in mental health treatment is as it seems. For example, did you know that despite the labels we use to diagnose people, there is a wide and growing acceptance that no one's condition is quite the same? Did you know that there is no evidence for the widely held belief that mental health issues are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain? To discover what's really going on, join award-winning writer Horatio Clare in his travels through our overloaded, underfunded and creaky mental health system.Spurred into researching this topic following his own journey from breakdown to recovery, Horatio speaks to experts from across the system - patients, psychiatrists and psychologists, nurses, art therapists and social workers - to shed light on the realities of mental health treatment today. Whether your interest is in anxiety, depression, insomnia, self-harm, an eating disorder, or any one of many conditions of the mind which can be hell to endure, or support someone through, this book is for you. Your Journey, Your Way shows you how to access the best personalised treatment and embark on a transformative path towards wellbeing.
