Psychiatrist Aims to Destigmatize Mental Health in New Novel
DUBLIN (PRWEB) May 22, 2017 -- As we make strides to becoming a more accepting society, mental health stigma continues to be a growing concern worldwide. With a passion for diminishing misconceptions about mental health, Dr. Carolina Giacobone highlights the real and raw emotions of mental illness in her new novel.
“Lucy in the Skye” is an honest story, emphasizing the candid and complex story about a young woman, Lucy, who is battling her demons and struggling with mental health issues. The novel will take readers alongside Lucy on her journey to discovering womanhood, accepting resilience, and understanding her own identity.
Although the novel is fictional, it is based on the author’s experience as a psychiatrist and the countless stories she has lived and heard. Dr. Giacobone said her goal with the novel is to convey a positive and mind-opening message to all readers as she feels she has a responsibility to spread mental health awareness.
Readers will be uplifted and moved as “Lucy in the Skye” gives voice to the stories of suffering, fear, prejudice, and confusion that are silenced by stigma and rejection.
