Jenny Symons Author

Jenny Symons spent a long period under hospitalisation for schizophrenia. She has grappled with the vagaries of this illness to produce works of outstanding creativity, in the fields of literature and art. Some of her artworks have been featured at prominent galleries across the country. Working alongside mental health charities, Jenny has gone on to produce a compilation of her life's poetry - Spare a Thought - which she hopes will serve as an aid to others, as well as creating a better understanding of how schizophrenia can impact a person's thoughts.
