The War of the Mind: Prison By Another Name

By: Egbuonu, Eche

Lost within his mind. Trapped within the treatment...

Londoner Eche Egbuonu was your typical shy introvert, possessing a rational mind but never drawing attention to himself. But when he attends University, everything changes. Gone is his easy-going nature and strong sense of self. He's overcome with a dark and chaotic mental break, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Pushing through, he slowly overcomes his strife and graduates, leaving his past behind.

Or so he thought...

Out in the real world, Eche finds himself trapped in endless cycles of depression and mania. During one of those manic episodes, Eche transforms into a goal-obsessed, hyper-energized extrovert. Instead of helping him achieve his dreams, his new personality and high energy leads to family tensions, poor decision-making, and risky behaviour that nearly culminates in tragedy. This forces his loved ones to check him into a mental hospital for a month. Grateful for professional help, Eche feels confident the doctors will solve all his problems. But his path to health has only just begun. Eche searches for meaning in life, experiences a spiritual awakening and is determined to find a solution to his mental health issues. Now fully diagnosed, Eche must learn to manoeuvre the broken UK health care system.

The War of the Mind is a compelling true story of one man's journey to recovery-filled with highs and lows and the incredible will to fight for a life worth living.
