Welcome to Litsy!

#Aprella #VirtualInsanity So many ways to interpret this prompt...

1. The tagged book is a memoir of one woman‘s experience of mental illness, so is a somewhat literal interpretation.

2. In other books pictured here there are fictional depictions of mental illness.

3. When characters (or people) behave in ways we don‘t understand we might call that madness.

Such is the broad spectrum of human behaviour. In books we get to experience it all.

I've posted about this book before. It's so raw and real. One woman's experience of acute psychosis and depression and the Australian mental health system.

Here's another #bestlastsentences from this outstanding memoir. Essential reading for those wanting to better understand chronic mental illness and the Australian mental health system. #Marchintoreading Day 23

#MarchIntoReading #JudgedByItsCover This cover is made up of the author's scribbles from her journal, chronicling her struggle with severe mental illness. The scribble represents her mind when unwell and the chaos of living with chronic mental health problems. I'd never read a book about mental illness quite like this before. It's confronting, but oh so worth the discomfort you feel right from the opening lines. And yes, there is hope. 🌺
