A Mind on the Edge: A Mental Health Story will be released on 24 June 2026.

My first book Before Depart was published in 2007 in Urdu, and now I am ready to share another deeply personal chapter of my life.

This book is an honest account of my journey through mental health challenges, years of pressure, fear and trauma that I kept to myself.

Over time the weight of it all became overwhelming. Anxiety and emotional strain took hold, and I finally realised I needed support.

Thank you to everyone who has stood by me.

More updates to come as we approach launch day.

As today is the last day of Mental Health Awareness Week, I hope we all continue to raise awareness of this much‑needed issue.

Look after yourself and others.

MP Shivani Raja Advocates Stronger Support and Honest Discussion on Mental Wellbeing

The Leicester East MP, who says the issue has become even more important to her since becoming a mother, believes much more needs to be done to create communities where people feel able to speak openly about their wellbeing without fear of judgement.

She says that no one should be left to cope alone and that strong and accessible support networks are essential.

She is especially keen to encourage honest conversations among young people, including discussions that cross cultural, faith, and generational lines.

As Mental Health Awareness Week is marked, the MP repeated her commitment to helping build a society where people feel heard, supported, and understood.
