I just started a good book called Just Like Someone Without Mental Illness Only More So. This is a memoir by Mark Vonnegut, the famous author Kurt Vonnegut's son. The book details his experience dealing with mental health issues, namely bipolar disorder. He is now a successful pediatrician with three children.
It's kept my interest so far. I'm a big fan of memoirs as I think one can learn something from every one's life stories.

Books dealing with mental illness help combat stigma.
ReplyDeleteGood quote from the book -
ReplyDelete"A world without prejudice, stigma, and discrimination against those who have or are thought to have mental illness would be a better world for everyone."
Sounds like an interesting book Joy.
