| Summary |
This is an important book about something that affects everybody - your own mental health, covering everything from exam stress and anxiety through to self-harm, eating disorders, and more. Juno Dawson's view is that your mental health is just as important as your physical health and that we should be able to talk about it just as much as our own physical health, and without embarrassment. With advice from trained clinical psychologist Dr Olivia Hewitt, this book is the must-have book for teens about their own mental health. It also includes interviews with real-life experiences. |
