"Psychiatric Tales" draws on Darryl Cunningham's time working in a psychiatric ward to give a reasoned and sympathetic look into the world of mental illness. In each chapter, Cunningham explores a different mental health problem, using evocative imagery to describe the experience of mental illness, both from the point of view of those beset by illness and their friends and relatives. As Cunningham reveals this human experience, he also shows how society's perceptions of and reactions to mental illness perpetuate needless stigma, for example, the myth that schizophrenic people are more likely to commit crimes than non-schizophrenic people. "Psychiatric Tales" is a groundbreaking graphic work; it deftly demythologizes and destigmatizes the disorders that 26.2 percent of American adults live with every day. Concluding with a reflection on how mental illness has affected his own life, Darryl Cunningham's "Psychiatric Tales" is a moving, engaging examination of what is, at its root, the human condition. Darryl Cunningham is the creator of the Web comics "Super-Sam" and "John-of-the-Night" and "The Streets of San Diablo." He is a prolific cartoonist, sculptor, and photographer, and lives in Leeds, England. This is his first book.
