📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
ed. by Jessica

“A
mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling or
mood. Such conditions may affect someone's ability to relate to others and
function each day. Each person will have
different experiences, even people with the same diagnosis.”
Nobody is immune to mental
illnesses. In this anthology authors share their experiences with various
mental health including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These
experiences are either with their own mental illness(es) or that of a family
member or friend. Each person’s story is different, even those who live life
with the same diagnosis.
Each contributor does a wonderful
job sharing their story. Different stories will have different effects on each
reader. Just like how no two people experience mental health the same way, no
two readers will experience each essay the same way.
