Description
From the critically acclaimed author of This Book is Gay, James Dawson, now writing as Juno Dawson.
We all have a mind, so we all need to take care of our mental health as much as we need to take care of our physical health. The first step is being able to talk about our mental health.
Juno Dawson leads the way with this frank, factual and funny book, with added information and support from clinical psychologist Dr Olivia Hewitt. Covering topics from anxiety and depression to addiction, self-harm, and personality disorders, Juno and Olivia talk clearly and supportively about a range of issues facing young people's mental healthβwhether fleeting or long-termβand how to manage them.
With real-life stories from young people around the world and witty illustrations by Gemma Correll.
