Psychiatric Tales

By Darryl Cunningham

Publisher by Bloomsbury

This book is very good, but it’s not conventional. It is nonfiction, and focuses on the author’s work at a psychiatric hospital, detailing the many different patients he encountered throughout his time there. This book paints these people as people, not as characters, and also works some helpful advice for sufferers into the book. The author himself also dealt with depression, which adds an air of honesty and empathy into the book.

I personally believe that this book should be required reading for all of humanity. Not because it is well written or well drawn (it is both), but because it gives a  necessary viewpoint that many people lack, and can be used in a learning environment.

TLDR: 8/10
