"One of the most comforting and therapeutic tools that can be given to someone suffering (yes suffering) from Depression, Anxiety and other forms of Mental Illness, is to know that they are not alone; that others have felt what, and as they do; that what they are feeling is real; and above all, that there is a “road to wellness”. Well done John. You’ve helped to provide this tool".

Abbey's verdict - Blog review of "The road to mental wellness by John Arenburg"

The road to mental wellness is a mental health blog by John Arenburg chronicling his personal experiences with living with PTSD and other mental illnesses. This blog is one that seems to create hope for any and everyone going through illnesses they cannot talk to others about it. But not only does it create hope it helps create awareness especially to the issue of PTSD among emergency workers like firefighters etc that is not usually talked about.

Reading through this blog is almost like living through the blogger's life, his ability to be so transparent with what he has gone through and is still going through is brave and commendable. So far, I've enjoyed every part of this blog and learned so much as well.

 John is currently compiling his own experiences into two books which will combine his powerful writing abilities and also his experience with coping with PTSD.

This is one blog anyone interested in mental health should be sure to read and follow.
