Emotions of the MindWith the suicide deaths of Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain and the emotional distress of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Ryan Tedder, it is evident that we the people are suffering from mental health illness and emotional distress.
It’s not just plaguing celebrities, but it has reached down into lives of today’s youth and even everyday heroes. We have finally taken notice that society as a whole is suffering because of what we don’t know about mental and emotional health. Now that the big names have gotten our attention, we are open to receive the information needed and it’s my desire to help us all understand the issues. With a schizophrenic dad and a narcissistic ex-husband, I have been given some insider clues as to what the mind of the mentally ill and the emotionally distressed looks and sounds like and I’ve decided to share my knowledge and my story in my book. Let’s get better, together! This is a great read!!! I purchased 3 books, and gave 2 for gifts. Reading this book, sheds more light on what I have come to terms with in my life. I also appreciate Mrs. Todd for sharing her true life experiences with us. Mental illness is rising in record numbers, and I feel that this book will help others recognize it through behavior. Thank you Tamela C. Todd for this stepping stone!!!! - Sapphire |
