After a lifetime of ups and downs, Horatio Clare was committed to hospital under Section 2 of the Mental Health Act. From hypomania in the Alps, to a complete breakdown and a locked ward in Wakefield, this is a gripping account of how the mind loses touch with reality, how we fall apart and how we can be healed - or not - by treatment. A story of the wonder and intensity of the manic experience, as well as its peril and strangeness, it is shot through with the love, kindness, humour and care of those who deal with someone who becomes dangerously ill. Partly a tribute to those who cared for Horatio, from family and friends to strangers and professionals, and partly an investigation into how we understand and treat acute crises of mental health, Heavy Light's beauty, intensity and compassion illuminate a fundamental part of human experience. It asks urgent questions about how we understand and treat mental health that affect each and every one of us. 600 10 $a Clare, Horatio, $d 1973- $x Mental health. 600 17 $a Clare, Horatio, $d 1973- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01636415 650 0 $a Affective disorders $x Treatment. 650 0 $a Mentally ill $x Rehabilitation. 650 7 $a Affective disorders $x Treatment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798869 650 7 $a Mental health $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016339 650 7 $a Mentally ill $x Rehabilitation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016757 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781473575561 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220209010104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F155B746897511EC94F7A2945EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
