Madness: a Memoir by Kate Richards

challenging dark emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

Kate Richards has lived experience with psychosis episodes and documents this throughout her memoir of around a 20 year period of not only working in the medical field, but rather being treated in the psychiatric medical field. Sharing personal experiences of what psychosis felt to her, self-harm incidents, and finding the right supports professionally and more importantly socially to help her navigate finding a balance to managing her mental health.

Personal, raw and full of stories, this is a memoir that I believe will stick with me for a while.
