I think this was a really courageous thing to publish but the book itself is not organized very well - it's transcripts of therapy sessions and some seemingly unrelated short essays - and the psychiatrist honestly didn't seem very helpful aside from prescribing medications.

I was really excited about this book. I got it as a birthday gift and started it immediately. It was very slow, but I gave it time, I thought it would pick up after a few chapters. Sadly, it did not. I think it's a great book for people who have just now began thinking about their mental health and behaviour, but as someone who went through the revelations she describes in the book years ago, it was a bit tiring to read. It felt like reading my journal from 5 years ago, but without the insight of what was happening in my life at the time. However, it is full of super annotatable quotes and the translation is superb, so great job there. I don't regret reading this, but if I was given the chance, I probably would have picked a different book to get as a present.

Therapy sessions are included so lots of sensitive topics are discussed but it all seemed really sensitively handled to me.
