Craig Bristow

Craig Bristow's debut poetry book was born after he suffered a life-changing nervous breakdown at the age of 24. Written over the five years that followed, it covers: bipolar, depression, suicide, panic disorder, anxiety, alcoholism, OCD and heartbreak. A proud mental health advocate, he hopes that by sharing his story he will not only help others who are mentally ill, but also bring positive change to how mental health illnesses are viewed and discussed in society today.
