My Mum has written a review on new author Kathryn A Littlewood's book about having bipolar and experiencing mental health distress (illness).
(Please note: This book is for Adults because of how the subject area and topic is described, but is comical none the less!)
Review by Ali Hayward:
'I'd like to share something very special with you all. Yesterday, Wednesday 1st July 2015, was the launch of a new book from a new Sheffield author, Kathryn Littlewood. 'Cultivating Mad cow' is a personal narrative of a woman going through the trauma and confusion of a psychotic episode. Author, Kathryn Littlewood, recounts life from eleven years ago when she became very ill. With each turn of the page the reader gains a unique insight in to the depths of desperation, confusion and loss, mixed with the intensity of love, laughter and positive energy, only someone experiencing a Bipolar psychotic episode understands.
This book is as important to professionals, academics, and those in training for example, Counsellors and Therapists, Social Work, Medicine, Nursing, just as much as those who have an interest in life, caring, society and mental distress.
Whilst there are many books and journal articles on Bipolar, mental distress, trauma and/or psychosis, there are few written with the dedication and insight Kathryn shows. This important narrative, written in a style that is accessible to all, opens the door on a subject and experience that is ordinarily private or disregarded - giving the reader the privilege of understanding rarely available.'
