About

Introduction
Andrew Spriggs
Born and raised in Chesterfield, his life was shaped dramatically after he was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder having spent a stressful time in France working to learn French. Having been sectioned and spent several months recovering, he was motivated to write about his own mental health issues, how others can recover, and how recovery can help patients, staff and all stakeholders to evolve given how much pressure there is facing our health services.
