Description

The book tries to explain the reasons why I was ill and, by combining the knowledge of mental health and care in the community, how I became better over time.
I was given a lot of help to overcome depression and this new book will give the reader a broader insight into my writing. Combining the knowledge of being ill twice with depression and the recovery process.
I have covered my ideas about care in the community, including my proposals for the ideal facilities for day centres, Community Action Plans and a National Care Service to work alongside the National Health Service.
I have mentioned education, ways to improve services and lots of other aspects of mental health that I consider relevant to the issue.

About the Author

Tim Price was affected by lack of oxygen when he was born in 1973. He was first diagnosed with a mental health problem in 1990, it was called Depression. This was shortly after leaving school and entering Further Education.

People can develop several different kinds of mental health issues or problems; they may need the experience of medical staff in hospitals like the Priory, Leighton, Macclesfield or other Mental Health Units.

Tim later discovered, with the help of the late Dr Lorna Wing, that he had Asperger’s Syndrome.

This was early in 1994.

He received help from staff with experience of mental health problems.
The mental health team found appropriate accommodation for Tim. He receives help from carers every week.

Recovery took a long time with help from hospitals, carers from the Mental Health Unit, his friends and family.

He has already had three books published by Chipmunkapublishing called “How to Improve Mental Health” which describes the practical and other activities that he has achieved, since he began to get better, “My Insight into the Computing World” which describes how Tim has used computers over the years, to help him to learn and The Olympic Games, where he recalls the parts that he found interesting.

Tim is normally a positive, happy person and he joins in activities whenever he can.

Tim has enjoyed sport all his life, including the Olympic Games, and supporting various sporting events whenever he can.
