Diagnosed later in life with bipolar disorder and dyslexia, Jonathan Kemp decided to walk over 2,600 miles around the UK and Ireland this year to raise awareness of mental health issues. He reaches Bristol in the last week of June.
Despite being a rebel and disruptor in his early years, even dubbed a failure at school, Jonathan succeeded as a Metropolitan Police officer, before pushing himself to complete a university degree, inventing a new product and launching his own business. The whole time he was unaware that his bipolar disorder, depression and neurodiversity were shaping his life.
Here, he tells his own story, documented in his book, ‘Finding Peace of Mind’, discussing ways he manages his own conditions, and invites others struggling with mental health to share their own experiences and solutions.
