This is a podcast about psychosis. Rarely spoken about, psychosis is often hidden out of sight in the mental health conversation, we hope this podcast will throw it into the limelight and get people talking about one of the most stigmatised mental illness symptoms. Due to the nature of psychosis we will probably cover some fairly serious topics in this podcast. Trigger warning for topics such as psychosis, suicide attempts, self-harm, eating disorders and other similar areas. Please only listen if you feel you are in the right mindset to hear about these kinds of issues.

The Mind Surfer - a chat with the author Erica Crompton

Hi guys, we are back!

Today I am talking with Erica Crompton, Erica is a journalist (having written for such places as The Daily Telegraph, The New York Times and The Independent), keynote speaker, activist, and now author!

Erica has a long history of paranoid schizophrenia and a current diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Her new book The Mind Surfer is all about her experiences, and about how she has learned to live with/manage her psychosis. It is written in the form of short first person accounts and she draws a lot from her journalism experience to make it an engaging yet easy read.
