During my PhD I experienced severe anxiety and depression, along with suicide ideation. Thankfully I got help and I'm still here. As a student I went to find a book mental illness and how to cope during a PhD and didn't find one. That's how "Managing Your Mental Health During Your PhD" came to be.

Is there a way to purchase a copy directly from you? Rather you get more money than the publishers etc!

link.springer.com/book/10.1007... The idea was in my head that such a resource had to exist. As a PhD student I didn't comprehend that I'd be the one to write it. It is one of the things I'm most proud of. Every message I get from someone who it has resonated with has made it worth it.

Thank you for putting the time into this, and really glad you made it through. I’ve bought a copy to keep in my office and I’m sure many PhD students will benefit :)

I'm glad this exists - my PhD has died on the damage mental health has done to my academic abilities and if there's something that can help other people not end up with a brain like mine then its fucking brilliant. Now to see if I can get the uni to add it to the library.
