This seems like a book every household should own in case someone needs to dip into it. It’s very concise so is more a starting point than a cure but it give tips and advice to adults and children for many of life’s issues. Some of the more specific advice around navigating healthcare systems won’t apply outside the US.

This book was well-structured and easy to follow. I liked that it broke down common diagnoses with small suggestions for managing symptoms. I also really appreciated that there were sections dedicated to talking about society, sexuality, physical health, and additional resources. This feels more comprehensive and holistic than some of the other self-help books that I've seen for assisting with managing mental health symptoms.

Imagine making a stack of every brochure in your therapist’s office about mental health issues and adverse situations like domestic violence, depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Each section tells you what criteria you need to meet to be diagnosed, what might be prescribed or offered to help, a little bit about how to help others and children with it, and resources. This is not information like how to make it through these things and get better, just what your traditional options are. It is also very much centered around standard psychological and medical solutions like taking SSRI medications, CBT, etc. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t already know this basic information, but perhaps those with no experience with mental health resources would find it useful.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

This is a really great look into mental health disorders and what you can do to help cope with them.
I liked how in-depth this book is and how it even has strategies for children.
There are a lot of facts and research that have gone into this and tips to help you feel less alone.
This is a great resource for anyone suffering with mental health and also for others to know how to help them.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

Wow! This book is awesome! I actually like how week laid out and brief the sections are. When you are dealing with poor mental health, focus is often a challenge and this book is easy to read and nicely divided into sections. Of course, you should always seek professional help when required but this book is absolutely excellent if you are just starting to explore helping yourself/getting help. Great resource!

What a great toolkit! I think this book will help many people and change and save many lives. So honored to have the chance to share it with readers and share my thoughts. Much more to come.
