    Living a good life despite everything....

    Dr Anita Link is a small animal veterinarian who graduated from the University of Queensland in Australia in 1997. For the first twenty year she  worked in small animal practices in both Australia and the UK, but is currently taking a break from veterinary work to concentrate on her other two passions: writing and mental health advocacy. Dr Link completed a Master of Arts in Writing, Editing, and Publishing between the birth of her two children. Her interest in mental health advocacy was borne from her experience of living with Bipolar 1 Disorder, which was triggered by the birth of her first child in 2006. She has written a memoir, which is due to be published this year (Covid 19 permitting) and runs "Thought Food", a website, which is home to her blog "Living a Good Life with a Mental Illness".
