In Off the Deep End - Recovering from Mental Illness, Murray Mahony offers unique insight into the journey of a mind struggling with reality and his subsequent journey through the mental health system and his ultimately recovery.

His intellectual writer's prose and his style of writing make this book difficult to put down - from his earlier experiences of ill health, his perceptions of such things as intuition, astrology, and his perception of the quantum leaps that impacted so much on his wellness.

This book is recommended to anybody who wants to understand the journey that so man people in our society are forced to take and a health system that should always be introspective about the support that it provides to vulnerable people.
