About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The mental health system is in trouble. Most people who need help are receiving inadequate treatment, years behind the latest thinking. This life-changing book reveals what really works, and how it can help you.
Spurred into researching this topic following his own journey from breakdown to recovery, award-winning writer and broadcaster Horatio Clare speaks to experts from across the system to show how to put together the best treatment plan for you or a loved one.
Whether your interest is in anxiety, depression, burnout, insomnia, self-harm, psychosis, an eating disorder, or any one of many conditions of the mind which can be hell to endure, or support someone through, this vital and beautifully written book is for you.

'Horatio is as wise as he is compassionate' (Chris van Tulleken)

'Required reading for anyone with an interest in mental health (and that means all of us). Important, generous, painstakingly researched' (Kate Kellaway)
