Psychiatric Tales: Eleven Graphic Stories About Mental Illness

psychiatric-tales

I saw this at my local library & grabbed it on a whim.  It is based on the author’s time working in a psychiatric ward while studying to be a mental health nurse.  I really enjoyed this.  It is a powerful look at getting rid of the stigma and preconceptions of mental illness.  I felt like there could have been several volumes!  Darryl Cunningham‘s stories were heartfelt and the illustrations were simple & enhancing to the message.  I feel like I could easily recommend this to anyone to give them a taste of mental health activism.
