Slowly being engulfed by intrusive thoughts and hallucinations, Beers found himself struggling with suicidal ideation and commitment by his well-intentioned family to a series of mental health institutions, each one seemingly worse than the last. Unique in its presentation of both self-awareness and the difficult reality of working towards recovery; the book paved the way for the American mental hygiene movement and removed the stigma of mental illness among the general public.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 203mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Clifford Whittingham BeersContributor: Mint Editions (Contributions by)Genre: BiographyBook Series: Mint Editions (Visibility for Disability, Health and Wellness)Release Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
