The message from those with psychiatric experience for others with psychiatric experience: Throughout a mental illness, many life dreams are buried, but when one accepts this and takes good care of oneself, unexpected doors often open. How can I behave in a way that ensures my long-term well-being, even if I have been struggling with mental issues for a long time or repeatedly? Svenja Bunt and Sibylle Prins demonstrate that it is possible to have a good life even with mental problems. They write about stress reduction, managing a household on a tight budget, finding fulfilling activities, and building social relationships. The authors charmingly do not always agree, clearly expressing their personal experiences and views. This makes it clear that their book should be understood as an invitation to find one's own path amidst the multitude of possibilities.
