Thanks Carl. Seems most of your site is antipsychiatry so I don't fit in very well.

Hi Katy...interesting site. I am Carl from benzowithdrawal.com. Hope you are having a pretty good day.

I have just finished reading Dark Clouds Gather and have had my eyes widened by the experience. It is an articulate, no-nonsense approach to a subject many others would find impossible to record with any degreeof meaning, let alone in this detail. It is a book I recommend to any person that has a similar illness, or knows someone that does. In fact even if you have no illness and don’t know anyone ill, you will find it to be an education.
The subject matter of mental illness takes many forms in the book; eating disorders, self-harm, manic depression and much more. I can personally only relate directly to one of them and I find that difficult enough to cope with and write about. But Dark Clouds Gather manages to cover all of them in startling depth.
With all that was going on in your life, how you coped with the day to day stuff generally and the demands of academia, is in itself worth an award. The extraordinary thing about it all is that you came out the other side and you’re still kicking. Hats off! Good luck with the other works.
Regards
David Thomas
