Every time I revise my book Defying Mental Illness (it's an annual, like What Color Is Your Parachute) , my view of mental health recovery becomes more positive.
If you think about recovery in terms of human development and social roles, then recovery is about getting back on track with life. This may take time, and medical care, and the support of friends and family, but most people get there.
The 2014 edition of Defying Mental Illness is available in print here and is working its way towards Amazon and other book distribution, but the ebook reader versions (as well as online views and PDFs) are available now. Download the free sample, or read it online, and you’ll see what I mean.
Please let me know what you think.
