Dyphoria is a collection of complex and impassioned heart-rending poetic commentary on the pain, anxiety and dissatisfaction that go hand-in-hand with mental illness. It explores the emotional interplay between doctor, patient and outsider. The book is divided into three sections: Part One attempts to bring the reader inside the mind of the mental health patient; Part Two depicts the gruesome history of mental health treatment; Part Three presents a more intimate and personal consideration of physical and mental illness from a speaker who is at once sufferer, doctor and observer.
