Black Mental Health Matters -- Race, Racism and Mental Health
We are all being forced to deal with racism right now. I think part of that discussion is about race's effects on mental health. Luckily for me, I happen to know an amazing Black mental health advocate: Mike Veny. Mike and I sat down last week and had a very comfortable, uncomfortable conversation.

'Lost Marbles' Reviews
I'm pleased to say I now have 208 reviews between GoodReads and Amazon. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write their thoughts. The average review is about 4.5 stars out of 5!
Here is an amazing 5-star review by Lynne on Amazon (in the UK):
An Authoritative and Supportive Book "I . . . can recommend this book as the most useful tool for anyone including me, it has distilled the vital detailed knowledge of how to understand your feelings and treatment options. The person with bipolar, friends and family and the mental health staff including psychiatrists will all learn more about bipolar. The real experience of how it feels and why we behave differently is explained so well. This
is the best book on bipolar for anyone who needs to understand more about bipolar and the best ways to treat it safely. I highly recommend it and will be buying at least 2 more one for my psychiatrist as she hasn't lived with bipolar there maybe insights for her too and another for a mental health nurse, to read and maybe understand the patients experience and to loan to newly diagnosed patients who I think would get most value from reading it. Natasha Tracy is the most informative writer on
bipolar I have ever read. Buy the book if anyone you love has bipolar . . ."
If you've had a chance to read Lost Marbles, I would love it if you would leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Thanks, I appreciate it.
June's Final Words
That's it for now folks; I'll catch up with you again in July. Stay well. Wash your hands. Wear a mask. Stay home if you can. Remember, the pandemic is not over.
Here's a quote with a truth I hope you consider. I have.
“George Floyd’s death may have compelled you to post a black image on your social-media accounts but what it should really have done is made you question yourself and find within you those dark places where intolerance might be hiding for who among us can stand tall and proclaim that they have never been prejudiced towards a certain ethnicity, gender, colour or faith?”
