NEW But now I look back on it with a real sense of achievement. It was a 24-carat crack-up and I’m proud of the fact I got through it, rebuilt myself, did ok as a journalist again, and went on to do what I do now. I couldn’t have done what I’ve done in this job without believing what I believe very strongly, and being tough-minded, focussed, mentally and physically fit. I feel the breakdown and the recovery played a big part in all that. Alastair Campbell, the prime minister’s director of communications and strategy in Sunday Times Magazine, Sunday 6th January 2002 Campbell had a psychotic break down whilst working as a journalist. After returning to journalism, he later acted as UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's communications/press guy. The review, entitled "DISCOVERING HOPE FOR RECOVERY FROM A BRITISH PERSPECTIVE: A review of a sample of recovery literature, implications for practice and systems change", is here: http://www.critpsynet.freeuk.com/LITERATUREREVIEWFinal.htm

I include a couple of quotes but suggest you read the whole thing if you can - it is very long but remember it was a speech. It is available online at http://www.namiscc.org/newsletters/February02/PatDeegan.htm |

Recovery Many individuals diagnosed with mental illnesses or thought and mood disorders like Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder (manic depression) and Depression, are living successfully in their communities.
