Frances Fogel’s Reviews > The Natural Health Service: What the Great Outdoors Can Do for Your Mind > Status Update

There is a difficult boundary between showing honesty to help others (and, often, ourselves) and the need for privacy to protect ourselves too. Each person sets that boundary in a slightly different place, but the purpose of this book is not to educate you in my individual misery, but to show how powerful the great outdoors can be.

This has been the case for many of those I spoke to, and while this may mean there are still questions about what feels like an incomplete example, this is just how it has to be when sharing mental health problems with such a wide audience.

I don't want to tell the full story, nor do I think it would help the reader particularly to know it. Similarly, I have avoided going into too much detail on my symptoms, partly because there are some things I would rather not relive.
