Is someone in your life struggling with going back to school?
As back to school approaches, there might be someone in your life feeling a terrible sinking sensation about the return to the classroom. While this can be an exciting time of year, it can also bring with it depression, anxiety, and body image concerns.
We recently wrote a book (with our friend cartoonist Gemma Correll), called Where to Start: A survival guide to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It tackles the issues you might see during this return to school with a jargon-free approach to understanding mental health.
The book offers clear, honest information about the most common mental illnesses as well as worksheets, a self-assessment test, and tips on talking about mental health.
It is a must-have for any young adult returning to the classroom this fall.
