Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD?
From Michelangelo to Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie
Flintoff, a great many successful people with brilliant minds and
talents have lived or are living with mental health disorders. The
biographies in this book show that you can't always tell what a
person is going through, and that mental health conditions can and
do impact people from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to
help remove some of the stigma around mental health, discuss
different mental health conditions, what they mean and how they are
treated; and ultimately to show that mental health disorders do not
have to hold anyone back from achieving their dreams. The figures
featured are from a range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines
across science, literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular
culture. Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental
health conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.
