OPEN: Why asking for help can save your life by Maleha Khan, Frankie Bridge, Mike McPhillips
4.0
Book 7 of 2020
.
Open was in my @wildwomanselfcaregifts subscription and I'm glad it was as I don't think I would've purchased this book myself but I found it an absorbing and enlightening read.
.
Frankie Bridge shares her story of battling with mental illness in such an incredibly honest way. It includes notes from her psychiatrist and psychologist which shed light on some of the most difficult to understand aspects of mental illness.
.
I would say this is a book for anyone who has had mental health issues and for anyone who hasn't but knows someone who has. It looks at so many aspects of this incredibly complex health issue, debunks some myths and normalises the topic. Beautifully brave writing about why asking for help could save your life.
