Publisher's summary

Like many of us, James Lindsay is no stranger to stress and anxiety. But in his case, leaving those struggles untreated led to a full psychotic episode that hospitalized him for the better part of a month. With the help of medication and therapy, he has now overcome this dark period and is currently living a much happier life.

But his story doesn't end there. Now, he wants to help others avoid the same fate by sharing his experience, including the red flags he recognizes in hindsight and the path he charted to recovery. No matter where you are on your own journey, James' story will resonate and remind you, as he puts it, that "recovery is always possible, and hope is never far away".

Strong, positive stories and hope

Wished I’d read/listened to this book 30 years ago when my mental health struggles started. A lot that’s worked for Lindsay has also greatly helped my own journey.

Lindsay is a confident and soothing narrator. So much he talks about I can relate to. The first few years after diagnosis are usually a huge struggle. This book will help anyone going through it. Good, good stuff.
