By Michael Coonce

An Untreated Life is a story of repeated trauma, the struggles of mental health, and the journey from teenager into adulthood. The book covers an eight year period with insight by the author on their perspective and thoughts as they read the words written over twenty five years ago. The journey of the author would take him across the country and around the world for decades. Along the way, notes, thoughts, hopes, and dreams are written down so they could be read later.

Mental Health and Contradictions focuses on the dreams and aspirations of a young man who has been left to figure out their way forward while suffering from severe symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

The book reveals how relationships, decisions, connections, and experiences are affected when a person is struggling with their mental health. There are moments written in An Untreated Life in which the author was unaware the impact mental health was having on their life.

Prior to writing the book, the author suffered burnout after years of stress and struggle.
