Linda N. Baron-Katz, Peer Mental Health Advisor and Author, would like to share that there is hope and recovery from a disability like mental illness.
In her new book, SURVIVING MENTAL ILLNESS, MY STORY, Linda describes the heartbreaks and challenges that she had to cope with in dealing with a mental illness, like bipolar disorder, and how she achieved recovery by overcoming major obstacles in her life.
Linda has learned that recovery from mental illness is not a means to an end but a new beginning in one's life.
Her new book, Surviving Mental Illness: My Story, defines what mental illness is, its mood disorders and treatments, and the resources and mental health agencies that a person with mental illness can go to for help.
Linda speaks straight from her heart about how she overcame major problems that were hard for her to write or talk about.
Your listeners will get a chance to hear about challenges that Linda went through and will learn that people with mental illness can survive and recover just like she did.
She also hopes that listeners will learn to judge people with mental illness differently and remove some of the stigma and labels about mental illness.
People with mental illness can do many productive activities such as going back to school or work, build an effective relationship, educate others about mental illness, etc.
