The Medusa Effect

by Horace James Smith

I write this book as a synopsis to work out my battle with depression after satanic ritual abuse within the church and also to use it as a tool to help point others in the right direction. Around 2014 and during a stay in hospital the diagnosis of bipolar became a label that explained two attempts at suicide. In this book, I try to describe from a fictional character the depression that I experienced. This book is a short story about a fictional character that is based on my life living with mental illness. 1 in 4 people will develop mental health problems in their lives and 1 in 6 people report experiencing mental illness. Many who develop mental illness are stigmatized by those around them. They lose friends and paid work. In this story, I write about overcoming the stigma and attempts at suicide.
