Living With Mental Health Issues - Richard Weaver Paperback

As a person who lives with Asperger's syndrome (a social and communication disorder on the autistic spectrum), psychosis, mood disorder and a number of lesser mental health problems, I have first-hand experience of the subject. I therefore decided it was time to write about how I originally received inaccurate diagnoses, the struggles both I and my family went through in order to get the correct diagnosis, and then appropriate treatment. In the pages that follow I will talk about how these problems have affected my day to day life in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood (although this will not involve a short autobiography). I hope this project will enable (assuming it gets completed) the reader with psychiatric problems to understand you are not 'crazy' or 'beyond help' and you DO have a future. Whilst (as I have found) you may never eradicate your symptoms completely or even very much, that doesn't mean in any way you can't or shouldn't lead a full, satisfying and meaningful life..
