Emily Reynolds latest book, A Beginner’s Guide to Losing Your Mind is memoir about battles with bipolar. She has spent years trying to cope with her symptoms after being diagnosed as bipolar in her early 20s and has spent years trying to understand how to live with her diagnosis.
This memoir is about her personal story which includes advice for individuals who are managing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Living with mental illness is isolating, infuriating and painful but also very boring. She has covered variety of topics such as ho to cope with exam pressure at school or university, handling self-sabotaging and suicidal thoughts, advice for family and friends and even tips for dating.
Later in the book she has provided in detail advice and suggestions on diagnosis, treatment and maintaining one’s mental health. After reading, I have found some of her suggestions are applicable in our daily lives since we all, in someway cope with mental stress and pressure a lot these days. It’s not only a memoir, this book is an honest exploration in the field of mental illness.
Her writing is flawless and her experiences are engrossing.
This book is beneficial and directed towards readers who want a better understanding of what mental illness is like and how it affect a person’s life. It indeed will sound eye-opening if you haven’t read something on this topic before. In that case, you should read this book.
4 out of 5!
Note: I received this book from the publisher but that doesn’t mean my review is breaking all the rules.
