Robyn Semple is a retired registered nurse from Ipswich, Queensland, and a mother of three adult sons. She has more than 40 years of life experience with anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder caused by psychological trauma. Her writing reflects extensive research, and her passion is to educate others on mental illness. Her focus is on explaining that mental illnesses have biological origins—they are as physical in causality as cancer, cystic fibrosis, and asthma, which will quash the stigma and shame associated with these conditions. This is her first book.
