Simon Bradstreet is left feeling frustrated by this systematic review of recovery in people living with severe mental illness. Results may be flawed because of a poor literature search strategy introducing bias.

The new Recovery Library in Tiverton in partnership with Flourish Cafe is a place to find a broad range of mental health and recovery resources, self-help books, mental health reference, recovery stories, and more.
