Ignorance Isn't Bliss

Ignorance Isn't Bliss' is the account of Elizabeth's experiences with self medication via illegal drug and alcohol miss-use, social stigma and contact with the NHS mental health services. Although Elizabeth's story probably echos hundreds if not thousands of others, some perhaps even more extreme than her own, she felt she had an important story to tell all the same. 'Ignorance Isn't Bliss'' is reflective of the poor quality of services offered to people like Elizabeth and the social stigma linked to mental health. This is an excellently written and well thought out book which charts some of Elizabeth's extraordinary experiences.
