Product Description

Muriel Gray, Writer and Broadcaster, Well Magazine, Spring 2004
The book is worth its weight in gold.

The List August 2003
Refreshingly, her emphasis on the hope, 'the light' that she aspires to rather than the self-destruction caused by her illness.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Blue That Souls Are Made Of, 5 Aug 2003
This review is from: The Naked Bird Watcher: A Positive Autobiography on Manic Depression (Paperback)
The Naked Birdwatcher takes you on the journey of a highly gifted young Woman from her schooldays to approaching her thirtieth birthday. A journey travelled though often on her own, never alone. It is a journey of a young woman’s awakening to the realisation of how her own mind which along with her athletic ability had worked with her to achieve the fabulous goals of her youth, begins to fight against her as she approaches adulthood and betrays her in her University years. A fight, we are unsure whether she will win or ultimately lose. We journey with her through her ordinary life (its ordinariness making the book ever more poignant) the battles, the triumphs and the defeats. The battles with her mind along with the battles she has to fight with some of those closest to her too blinkered to realise that nobody would make manic depression a life choice. The Naked Bird Watcher gives hope to those travelling with Manic Depression and those they take along with them. It also highlights the importance of having a support network to help you on your journey. Suzy it would seem has an exceptional support network, this will hopefully inspire those who could help a friend or family member with manic depression to try that bit harder to be there when needed. I have taken from this book that manic depression is a companion anyone could discover they have on their life’s journey; sometimes asleep, sometimes dozing, sometimes with them in their every waking minute. The aim and hope it would seem, is to find a way to get it to sleep and keep it sleeping. Everyone should read this book, it is an inspiration to all to see what can be achieved and how battles can be won if you believe in yourself enough and others believe in you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is unique and all must read it., 18 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Naked Bird Watcher: A Positive Autobiography on Manic Depression (Paperback)
Good psychiatric care within the NHS must be a first. And well done to Suzy Johnston for telling us about it. She lucidly explains what depression is like and the unusual symptons of which many of us are unaware. But how good to hear of the excellent care she received. A lesson for us all. There is constructive criticism and God does she make you think. Best service-user story I have read to date - and as a professional, I've read most of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 17 Sep 2004
By A Customer
I found this a very easy book to read. It is an excellent account of how mental illness must be and I found it enthralling.
You are willing the writer to get better and really feel for her. The balance of lighter moments as she tells of the funny moments in her life sit very well with the serious. Her story really is inspirational - an exceptional book
