In 2018, model Rosie Viva experienced a psychotic episode at Stansted Airport that led to her arrest and the evacuation of the terminal. What followed was a diagnosis of bipolar disorder - and a life turned upside down.
In Completely Normal and Totally Fine, Rosie takes you inside the extreme highs of mania, the isolating lows of depression, and the long, complicated journey towards stability and recovery.

With humour, vulnerability and honesty, Rosie explores:

- Diagnosis, recovery and challenging the stigma around mental illness

Whether you live with bipolar, support someone who does, or want to better understand mental health, this is a deeply personal memoir about survival, self-acceptance and hope. Funny, heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting, this book is a reminder that even when life feels anything but normal, you are not alone.
