Mental health is highly stigmatized. People distance themselves from it’s discussions, people affected from or associated with mental challenges. This is despite statistics showing that mental incidents are on the rise impacting negatively on individuals, families and society at large.
For this reason the author of Friends from hell has penned down taboo topic to demystify mental health through creating awareness specifically on narcissistic personality disorder. The narrative has used diagnostic manual simplified, stories and drama from daily lives, folktales, relationships, religion, workplace and politics in one pot of homuor, metaphors, cynicism and a world full of imagination.
The book is inspired by the challenges of clients’ journeys through situationships, manipulation, abuse to personal awareness, Self-care, self-determination and realization by learning and using therapeutic tips towards their healing .

In this insightful book, the author dissects the complex settings of narcissistic individuals and situations, offering an understanding into their manipulative tactics, the potentially devastating effect on their targets, and how to break free. A must read for anyone familiar with the terms “toxic”, “manipulation” and “narcissistic.”

As an older sister, wife, daughter, mother and parent this book has shed light to ensure that both my family relations and friendships are as they should be- devoid of narcissistic abuse.
On the other hand, it has also helped me self -reflect to ensure I correct some of the things I do in my relationships to ensure I don’t cause harm unknowingly.
The way you the book is arranged and the stories used (so relatable) make it an enjoyable read.
I’m glad to add this to my library!!!
