The Mind Surfer is journalist Erica Crompton’s memoir, a collection of first-person prose and journalism which explains exactly what psychosis is and how she learned to manage it in her late teens to mid-thirties. This book is aimed at all people, young or old, whose lives have been touched by psychosis: themselves, their loved ones and their caregivers. It’s written like a magazine: crammed with first-person features and expert tips, and the prose is clear and concise. She hopes this will help to engage a younger audience as well as more established patients with psychosis, which affects 1 in 20 people and is most likely to take a grip in the late teens to early twenties.

“This is no misery memoir but a passionate and hopeful account of living with psychosis, with lots of wisdom and self-help advice along the way.” – Alastair Campbell

“Erica shares her mental health journey with such rawness and wisdom. I could relate to so much of it, and I know many others will too. Her writing is extremely powerful. Erica’s words will no doubt touch everyone who reads her story.” – Jonny Benjamin MBE

“Bursting with hope and packed full of sage advice.” – David O’Coy, Editor, Fused Magazine.

“My parallel (or dual) aim in writing The Mind Surfer is simple. I hope I am giving hope to those who may read these words contained herein and draw on their inner strength to prevail. I did.” – Erica Crompton, Author of The Mind Surfer

  1. Heather Habecker

    In a realm where I expected darkness,The Mind Surfer emerged as a beacon of light, weaving a tapestry of humour, reflection, and profound guidance. As someone intimately acquainted with the challenges of living with schizophrenia, I embarked on this literary journey with trepidation. However, within the pages of this masterfully crafted book, I discovered a short yet powerful collection of chapters that effortlessly captured both the complexities of psychosis and the human spirit.

    With each turn of the page, Erica Crompton’s words took on an ethereal quality, enlightening my mind and lifting my soul. This book, with its effortless flow and compact prose, became a source of solace and understanding. In a single sitting, I immersed myself in the stories shared, finding comfort in the relatability and wisdom they imparted. It was as though the sun itself had bathed me in its warm glow, rejuvenating my spirit and offering a glimmer of hope.

    The Mind Surfer is not merely a book; it is a transformative experience. It serves as a reminder that, even in the depths of psychosis, there is room for laughter, connection, and growth. Erica’s words resonated deeply, allowing me to feel less alone in my own journey. This rare gem has left an indelible mark on my heart, inspiring me to embrace life’s challenges with renewed courage and optimism.

    I wholeheartedly recommend The Mind Surfer to all seekers of wisdom, to those touched by mental health struggles, and to anyone yearning for a captivating literary escape. Prepare to be enchanted, enlightened, and forever grateful for the gift of this remarkable book.

    I felt for Erica as I started to read The Mind Surfer, she goes deep and is honest. Having suffered myself from mental illness, I know these qualities are very important on the way to recovery, and the spiritual aspect in this book is very important, too. That’s what helped me recover from serious mental health issues. I can recommend this book to anyone even if they are not suffering from serious mental illness. This book could save a lot of lives. Who knows who and when someone might suffer from mental illness, I didn’t see my problems coming. Erica’s love comes through in this book, everyone wants to love and be loved, love lives forever. Buy the book to prevent mental illness or to help yourself get out of problems. This book will also help bring out compassion in people who don’t have mental illness for people with psychosis and schizophrenia.
