Thank you for this, the stories are so down to earth and real. I also love that it opens up different ideas of how we might deal with mental health - so important and helpful to not only start the conversation but could also give those with mental illness hope.

A practical and educational resource where you hear real first hand accounts. An important piece of work to help remove the stigma around mental illness. Well done to all who contributed for making a positive difference.

I do not apply this praise without reason. This is one of the best mental health podcasts out there and if you want to educate yourself and learn about neuro diversity you should listen to this one and the Hilarious World of Depression.

I have found this pod very insightful and thought-provoking. A short, mind-expanding, immersion into an alternative universe. A rich perspective of mental health, giving a voice to people’s unique experiences without demonising and pathologising. Highly recommended!

Good to hear stories from a depressed point of view. Wow accomplished book prize winner - heartwarming to hear. This will help me understand what a depressed friend goes through. This speaker should write the non-commercial remedies for bad thoughts!
