Established in 2020, Serotonin publishes poetry and prose on mental illness and suicide prevention. This anthology collects works published between 2020-2024 on Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Trauma, and Self-Harm. The poetry and prose included are written from the perspective of the authors, who come from Australia, Canada, France, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Uganda, UK, and the USA.
From teenagers to ninety-year-olds, from Vancouver to Philadelphia, Nigeria to Uganda, first-time published writers to famous poets, Serotonin: an anthology on mental illness and suicide prevention shares poems and prose with an incredible amount of diversity. The diversity contained within not only lies in the range of ages, geography, ethnicity, religion, gender, and LGTBQ+ identities but also the neurodiversity of the contributors. This anthology is a collection of writings that reflect on the spectrums of what have been long referred to as "mental illnesses" as well as the more recent term neurodivergence.
The anthology features 115 writers from around the world: Simon Perchik, Heidi Seaborn, Ra Vandey, Janet McCann, William Musgrove, Gary Bloom, Claire Taylor, Kara Knickerbocker, Oluwatomiwa Ajeigbe, Sean Hanrahan, Roberta Santlofer, Francesca Moroney, Lisa Weber, Olly Nze, Jerry Chiemeke, Samuel A.
