From the author's website:

This is the first book you should read about mental illness.

 In the United States, nearly half of all adults will experience a mental illness during their lifetime.

And yet we rarely talk about it!

Coming Out As Mentally Ill is the touching and relatable story of one person's coming to terms with mental illness and how it led to a more successful, productive, and fulfilling life.

The book also a primer on the basics of mental illness, designed to demystify the stigma around mental health, with supportive guidance on how to get help.

Just know that while the statistics are sobering, we can all play an important role in being there for our partners, our children, our friends, our coworkers, and most importantly – ourselves.

Start here, take that first step, and be an important part of the changing conversation around mental health.
