You will get through this A mental health first-aid kit : help for depression, anxiety, grief, and more

Clinical psychologists Radico and Nicole Helverson and trauma therapy specialist and counselor Charity O'Reilly review subjects ranging from depression, trauma, PTSD, loneliness, grief, sexual assault, and domestic violence to infertility, pregnancy loss, substance-use disorder, body image, chronic pain, sleep, insurance, and the mental health care system. The book's 26 chapters, no more than 10 pages each, are organized by sections: "Mental Health," "Social Health," "Sexual Health," "Physical Health," and "Getting Support." This work discusses many ways to access mental health care, what professional help may look like, strategies to try while waiting for an appointment, how to discuss the condition with loved ones, and common barriers one might face in their search for help and support. It also provides sidebars, real-life examples of living with the conditions, a five-page glossary, and a resources list, including online options. VERDICT Designed for general readers, this ready reference about mental health will benefit readers who are considering therapy or preparing for their first appointment. Similar titles focus on one or two specific issues, but this book provides a concise but broad overview and guidance for getting help for more than 20 mental health conditions.--Laurie Selwyn
