Karen Tyrrell & Richard Nelson CEO QAMH
WOOHOO! The mental health community is embracing Me and Her: A memoir of Madness with loving arms. They’ve reached out with their generous support for my memoir as a healing tool and guide to wellness … Me and Her offers insight into mental illness and recovery, breaking down the barriers and stigma … I’m thrilled and in total gratitude for their overwhelming endorsement.
Richard Nelson, CEO of Queensland Alliance of Mental Health …
He spoke at my Black Cat book launch as a guest speaker, sharing his views on recovery using my honest memoir, Me and Her as example. Later he emailed his review.
‘In reading Karen’s story of courage and inspiration I consider I have been given a very special and personal gift. Traveling through the story with Karen and her family has allowed me to understand the impact of mental illness and what the joy of recovery really means.’
Art Antonius, mental health advocate, leader of a mental health recovery group
Art has supported Me and Her in every possible way… 
‘I am using Me and Her as inspiration for a mental health support group on the Central Coast of NSW as an example to take an active part in one’s own recovery. They are now starting a group in creative writing using their own personal story in dealing with life after being diagnosed with mental illness using Me and Her as an example.
I have recommended a sign in the book room “Karen Tyrrell creative writing group – stories of loss, grief, hope and recovery … Thanks so much, Karen for writing this awesome book and inspiring so many with positive hope.
Audrey Streetman, American mental health advocate, author of recovery memoir ‘The Well’
Audrey shared her enthusiastic review on Amazon …
‘Important and Courageous Book …Karen Tyrrell has made a significant contribution by telling her story of mental illness in her courageous memoir.
While our culture has made great strides in overcoming the stigma of this traumatic and devastating illness, there is still much to be done in educating the general public.
In brave and beautiful prose, Karen recounts her struggle with bi-polar — telling not only how she became ill, but also her desire to understand her illness and prevent a re-occurrence.’
Daniel G, Reviewer for MC Reviews, mental health activist shared his appraisal on Goodreads.
He recommends Me and Her for: People with bipolar disorder OR who know people with it
‘This reads like a fast-paced thriller as Karen Tyrrell leads you through the twists and turns of her journey with bipolar disorder. If you have bipolar or know someone who does, this is a must-read.’
