We know what the words ‘mental illness’ mean to psychiatrists or doctors. But who are the real experts? These candid interviews bring ‘mental illness’ to life from the inside out. Seventeen Voices is a must for those who suffer, their family and friends, and health professionals.

‘Not only family members but all mental health professionals should read this revealing account of what it is like to be in our mental health system.’ – Dr Jon Jureidini, Head, Dept Psychological Medicine, Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide

Marianne Broug was a musician. Her career was interrupted by severe anxiety, panic attacks and depression. She is now a writer.
