About the Book
Treating mental health issues is difficult if you’re an adult, but if you’re a child, it can be downright terrifying.
This is the story of a young boy who finds himself experiencing hallucinations. Before disclosing this to loved ones, Seth first struggles to understand it himself so he can describe it to others.
Seth is eleven years old, sensitive, and intelligent. He struggles to differentiate between what’s real and what isn’t. His strong bond with his mother and sister helps him through his journey.
Seth’s disclosure is followed by further challenges that he and his mother Tina must face before they can get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Tina is a loving, protective, and strong parent who is prepared to fight a lonely battle to get her son better.
They describe the trials and tribulations they must go through in their fight for acknowledgement of Seth’s condition and treatment.
Seth the Saviour: Book 1 highlights mental health issues and the general stigmas that go along with mental illness. The story is fiction, but there is relevance to real-life events.
