Essays on Madness tells the 25 year tale of the author's battle with her own brain, through bouts of depression, suicidal ideation, and a whole load of other stuff. But the story's not as bleak as it might sound.

It's an honest take on how it feels to have such a messy head, but also sheds light on what helps her feel that little bit less shit. Whether it's therapy and medication or minimalism and quitting dieting, she discovered there's a always a different way to look at things...and usually plenty to laugh about, too.

Essays on Madness is a brutally honest exploration of AA Fellowes' fucked up mind, and her endless attempts to un-f--k it.

Her life story was interesting and the ways she tried to help herself was much better than our system. Overall I enjoyed the book.

Enjoyable

After listening patiently to it for 3/4 of it I have decided to stop. I was initially suggested to read it by a respected person, to get a glimpse into a mental illness. But, combined with a narrator, who have done a good job portraying an author... it just feels like a constant rant of a very privileged person, who has no troubles but her own thoughts, brought by nothing buy her brains and boredome. Her life is rich and great and she has a depression, unresolved trauma from a fairly happy childhood that her devoted husband supported her through... Great tips on a treatment by NHS, but otherwise just a rant that doesn't do the seriousness of the depression justice.

great Idea, bit not for me
