Neil Griffiths on TRAUMA: Writing About Art and Mental Health

"I was wrestling with what certain states of being feel like as negatives." Novelist and publisher, Neil Griffiths, joined me to discuss his essay, 'Madness as Such', which is featured  in Trauma: Writing About Art and Mental Health (Dodo Ink). Neil talks candidly about his essay which reflects on his experiences of depression.
