Excerpt from Confessions of a Journalist, 1904

It was the idle singer of an empty day him self, a dreamer of dreams born out of his due time,' now very much awake, striving to set the crooked straight He had gained from the wealthy classes the reputation of being an amiable lunatic, a great poet-artist who loved to play at slumming amid the hordes Of unwashed democracy. But amongst us he was simply a wise elder brother with the brain of a genius and the heart of a little child.

Biografía del autor

I first trained as a general nurse over 30 years ago and admit to feeling out of my depth at times regarding understanding those with mental health issues. My ignorance and attitude were partly shaped by negative media reports. But since training as a staff nurse in psychiatry I have gained much insight and understanding of sufferers and their families.

I have worked for nearly 12 years on a medium-secure ward; most of the clients I nurse have committed crimes while suffering from their illness. It is not common that those with mental health issues commit crimes but, if their illness is left untreated and allowed to become more and more severe, sufferers who are acutely ill may unintentionally end up in prison.
