In 2018, model Rosie Viva was arrested after she caused Stansted Airport to evacuate all its waiting passengers following a psychotic episode. After the incident, she was hospitalised, sectioned and diagnosed with bipolar disorder - a dramatic moment that would alter the course of her life.

In this moving memoir, Rosie opens up about the unique experience of being 'normal' and 'fine', whilst dealing with the delusions, mania and depression that bipolar brings. Navigating love, work and life while in recovery, she shares how she learned to embrace a ‘new normal’ and left the world of modelling behind to become a mental health advocate.

Completely Normal and Totally Fine shines light on living with a complex mental health condition that's often misunderstood and underdiagnosed, inspiring us to shed the stigma around mental health and open up about our messy minds too.©2025 Rosie Viva (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Honesty and positivity.

As someone with bipolar myself I found this story helpful, inspiring and interesting. Vey grateful to Rosie for sharing it with us. May you be happy.

I’ve never felt so seen

This book helped verbalize my experience with bipolar. And although it doesn’t manifest itself in the exact same ways I was able to pinpoint certain behavioral patterns I do that are associated with bipolar. Thank you for being so open about your experiences and helping destigmatize this illness despite how judgmental people can be.
