Moderate: Alcohol, Adult/minor relationship, Car accident, Eating disorder, Medical content, and Medical trauma
It was incredibly informative and empowering. A refreshing and well researched take on how we as a society manage mental health issues. Some of it was very slow and a little too clinical but I think the book's audience was intended to be those in the mental health field so that might just have been my issue.
