About this work

Description

"Have you noticed how it's easier to talk about some medical problems than others? Perhaps the hardest of all to talk about are mental illnesses – but we've all got a mind, so we've all got mental health. Can any of us say we haven't been stressed, anxious, angry, tired and emotional? In this clear and supportive guide to young people's mental health, Juno Dawson, author of This book is gay, and clinical psychologist Dr Olivia Hewitt discuss a range of issues – whether fleeting or long-term – and how to manage them. With witty illustrations from Gemma Correll, Juno and Dr Olivia cover topics from anxiety and depression to addiction, self-harm and personality disorders, with dozens of life stories from people just like you, who are living with mental illness."-- Provided by publisher.
