Natural Health Service: How Nature Can Mend Your Mind

In 2016, author Isabel Hardman’s severe depression and anxiety caused her to take long-term sick leave. Despite relapses, she returned to work with improved coping skills and became a prominent public voice on mental health. Her passion for exercise, nature, and the outdoors, including horse-riding, botany, cold-water swimming, and running, contributed to her recovery. In this book, she combines personal experience, interviews with mental illness sufferers and psychologists, and research to explore wildlife and exercise’s role in mental health coping. This book is well-researched and compassionate. It will fascinate those affected by mental health, whether personally or through loved ones.
