Bressie to pen book on his journey with mental health

Mullingar's Niall Breslin is reportedly set to release a book detailing his journey with mental health.

Me and My Mate Jeffrey will be published by Hachette Books Ireland later this year.

On the back of the success from his My 1000 Hours mental health blog, Bressie will detail his difficulties with depression and anxiety throughout his teens and into adulthood.

"I decided to write a book outlining my journey with my mental health. By outlining some of the mistakes I made – such as not seeking help when I needed it ­­­– I hope to help others make better choices," he told Independent.ie

"But I also want to highlight some of the ways I was able to manage my issues and even use them to motivate me, or give me an edge. It's important that we normalise the conversation surrounding mental health in this county and I hope this book can contribute to that in some way."
