Once upon a time, there lived a happy family called the Maitlands.
Iain, the father, was a writer. Tracey, the mother, worked at a
nearby school. They had three bright and charming children,
Michael, Sophie and Adam. It looked like the perfect family life.
Until October 2012, when Iain received a message. Michael had been
taken to hospital. Years of depression, anxiety and anorexia had
taken their toll, and he had pneumonia and a collapsed lung. The
doctors weren't sure if he would make it. Told with humour and
frankness through Michael's diary entries and Iain's own
reflections, Out of the Madhouse charts Michael's journey to
recovery from entering the Priory and returning home, to becoming a
mental health ambassador for young people. Sharing tips and
techniques that have helped them and others to self-manage, this is
an essential resource for anyone experiencing depression, anxiety,
OCD and similar issues.
