Publisher Description Life After Darkness is the remarkable and moving story of a doctor and mother of four who endured seven years of severe depression. Self-harm attempted suicides and admissions to psychiatric units culminated in her resorting to brain surgery as a final attempt to escape her illness. The story of Cathy Wield covers the horrors of time spent in archaic institutions and the loss of any hope to a full recovery following surgery. Today she has returned to her career and rediscovered the joys of life and her family. This story is one of hope from an often hidden and stigmatised disease. Important. Compelling and thought provoking. There are so many important messages in Cathys story I believe it should become required reading for every medical student every doctor every nurse every health service manager and every politician. This story should engage and concern healthcare staff health service managers and politicians. It will surely also engage and outrage every reader. Listen to Cathy and keep an open mind. Keith Matthews in his Foreword Outstanding.Cathys story very ably and touchingly describes many of the features of a chronic depression that are so damaging not only to the sufferer but also to their family and social networks. I think anyone who reads this would want to congratulate Cathy on her courage in adversity her recovery and her service to mental health through being brave enough to revisit those terrible years and to set it down on paper for the benefit of everyone suffering from or caring for someone suffering from this grossly misunderstood illness.Chris Thompson in his Foreword For information on other patient experiences please click here Author Biography Cathy Wield Details ISBN 1857757297 ISBN-13 9781857757293 Title Life After Darkness Author Cathy Wield Format Paperback Year 2005 Pages 240 Edition 1st Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd GE_Item_ID:160384508; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
