I have read many books over the years to educate myself further re mental illness. I believe once or twice I have Heartbeated about these.

I am currently towards the end of a book entitled ‘Madness: a memoir’ by Kate Richards. This is a brutally honest account of one woman’s struggle with psychosis over several years.

In terms of the stories I have heard from many resos, and reflecting upon the similarities between many parts of the book and Isabel’s personal experiences with psychosis – this book is a frighteningly real telling of many of the experiences that our resos endure.

I have the book if you are interested in having a look.
