This graphic novel is heartfelt and
beautifully drawn and written. It covers many conditions including
dementia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression and
presents stories of people suffering from these conditions from a
personal, understandable and heartfelt way.
The book is easy to read and aimed at
those who may not understand a lot of the issues connected to
mental health including the wide ranging conditions, causes and the
sheer numbers that are effected. Due to this work being by an
individual who has suffered from mental health problems himself in
the past, and the fact that he has included his own story within
the book, makes the book free of judgement. The simplicity of the
stories and the drawings may at first make it look like this book
could not possibly manage to hit any chords in a subject as deep
and complex as mental health but this book really does manage to
really dig down and hit something really profound.
