Bring Me to Light: Embracing My Bipolar and Social Anxiety by Eleanor Segall

Eleanor Segall's life was beginning. An aspiring actress and a family girl, she never though her future would be derailed by mental illness. After a spate of depressive and manic episodes, panic attacks and social anxiety, Eleanor found herself in The Priory at age 16. The diagnosis? Bipolar I disorder.But Eleanor didn't let it stop her for long. Now a successful blogger, journalist, and pillar of the mental health and Jewish communities, she writes about finding recovery and hope after being unwell. Her story of picking herself back up again and surviving against the odds will resonate with many - and it can help you find that light in the darkness too.

Eleanor's writing is so honest and insightful. Reading her story was extremely compelling and also inspiring. Eleanor is truly one of the bravest people I've ever known- Jonny Benjamin, MBE, award winning mental health campaigner and author of THE STRANGER ON THE BRIDGE Eleanor's writing is insightful, honest and offers so much to those who read it.

From the stories about Eleanor's Jewish ancestors to her own battle with bipolar disorder, this is a tale of survival. One that everyone should read. I don't know much about bipolar disorder but Eleanor doesn't hold back in her raw account of what it's like to live with such a stigmatised mental illness. This will shed a light on such an important topic for so many people - Fiona Thomas, author of DEPRESSION IN A DIGITAL AGE
