Another reason why mental health awareness and this book is so important to me.....This photo taken in London in 1919, is of my great grandfather, Arthur Edward Ruskin. Suffering from PTSD after the First World War, he had a nervous breakdown and was committed to an asylum, never to be released.

If anyone wants a signed bookplate for their book or a fancy bookmark,let me know-I am happy to mail them out :-)
Signed books are so much more special!

One of the reasons why The Factory Of Maladies: Seven Days On A San Francisco Psych Ward is such an important book-please read on....

My goal is to raise awareness to the horrible conditions of Psych Wards where patients are treated without the care, compassion and treatment they deserve. They need respect and extra compassion as they are at their most vulnerable.
