No Such Thing as Normal by Bryony Gordon offers down-to-earth discussion about the struggles of mental health. 'Mental illness has led to some of the worst times of my life... but it has also led to some of the most brilliant. Bad things happen, but good things can come from them. And strange as it might sound, my mental health has been vastly improved by being mentally ill.' In No Such Thing as Normal, journalist Bryony Gordon offers insight into ways to deal with mental health struggles, covering issues such as addiction, self-image, sleep disorders, worry, medication, therapy, and of course - as the founder of Mental Health Mates - the power of walking and talking. Bryony strives to help those in need by equipping them with the tools that they need to get the best out of an overwhelming, frightening, and poorly funded system. The result is a lively and honest guide to mental health struggles which connects to the reader on a personal level.
