WOMEN WRITERS WHO INSPIRED ME TO WRITE ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

Many of the best-loved female writers have suffered from mental illnesses. In fact, their suffering has often been as much of a draw as their actual writing (in a way that isn't really seen with male writers) – take, For example, the case of Sylvia Plath, and the huge interest and fascination surrounding her suicide.




J.K. Rowling - is one of the most successful writers of all time. She has sold over 400 million copies of her books and is richer than the queen. She has spoken openly about her depression, saying that she was acutely depressed from about 25 to 28.

Emily Dickinson was an American poet, known for her reclusive life. Never being diagnosed with a mental illness, it is largely through recollections, her letters and her poetry that literary critics and commenters have deduced that she had mental health issues.

Recovery Model Versus An Explicitly Medico-Psychological Model

Shall we take a look at how a recovery model operates viz a traditional medico- a psychological approach to dealing with mental health issues in clients? If people are responsible for their own lives, then supporting this process means avoiding the imposition of clinical meanings and assumptions about what matters and instead of offering support that is consistent with the person’s values as they  work towards their life goals. It is not the job of mental health professionals to fix people during counseling or lead them to recovery. The primary job is to support people to develop and use self-management skills in their own life. WE SHOULD ALL KNOW SOME THINGS ABOUT RECOVERY. What are they?
