Samenvatting

As an adolescent, Russell's face and neck would turn crimson at the slightest thing. In his twenties he began suffering from an extreme form of blushing (idiopathic craniofacial erythema). It sent out all the wrong signals - to friends, family and to the opposite sex. And it triggered something worse: Social Anxiety Disorder.

Up to one in 10 people develop this irrational fear of other human beings. From university to the workplace, Russell desperately tried to hide his secret from everyone. In a forlorn attempt to be 'normal,' he grabbed every remedy going, from drugs to herbs to bottles of absinthe

By turns wry and shocking, dark and optimistic, Redface is the eye-opening true story of one man's struggle with his mental health. And how he found his own way forward in a world built for others. It will fascinate the socially anxious, their friends and family, and anyone who wants to know what it's like to travel to the edge of human experience - and back.

'Immersive and raw in its emotional intensity, Norris's Redface invites us into his private world of avoidance, compensation and adaptation. Ultimately culminating in a deep awareness of himself and the world he moves through, it's empowering and cathartic for everyone who has experienced SAD.' – DR TRACY COOPER, INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANT ON HIGH SENSITIVITY

'Deeply moving and informative. I raced through it. Norris's portrayal of the cyclical struggle of Social Anxiety Disorder is stunning. This book is the perfect response to anyone who's ever said "don't we all get anxious about socialising?"' – LILY BAILEY, BECAUSE WE ARE BAD: OCD AND A GIRL LOST IN THOUGHT
