Publisher's Synopsis

112,997 people required medical assistance for intentional self-harm in the UK over a 12-month period from 2017-2018. This is the story of just one.An honest, dark and brutally raw adaption of his own memories, thoughts and experiences, written in the grip of a mental health crisis. Ben Oakley takes you on a heartbreaking journey into the darkness and isolation of succumbing to mental illness, subsequent sectioning under the Mental Health Act, and the revelation of the light on the other side. This unrestrained book is interlaced with intimate encounters of emotional turmoil, self-harm, depression and suicide. With cultural context and psychological understanding, Mentacracy offers a window to understanding a world many people never get to see.
