Compos Mentis: Of Sound Mind approaches mental wellness differently than most self-help books. Instead of focusing on long-term solutions, your book teaches readers practical exercises using real-life examples that help them during an episode. Why was this an important book for you to write?

Because these skills helped me a lot through my worst times. And still help me to this day. It was also lock down and I was reading on the news about many more people suffering with mental health. And so I wanted to do something that could help people. So I decided to write a book on what I had learnt and how it helps.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a unique approach that many have not heard of. What is one thing you think readers need to understand about DBT and how it can benefit them?

You need to practice the skills not just when you are unwell or in distress but also when you are well, so then it becomes second nature to do those skills when you are in distress.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Compos Mentis: Of Sound Mind?

To feel that they are not alone and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Do you have plans for a follow up book to this one? If so, what topics will the next book cover?

I have started to write another book, its more of an autobiographical story. So based on true events in my life.
