I swear you're gonna find me standing on a street corner somewhere waving copies of this book at people like a victorian newspaper boy.
I started reading this book after I made the decision to come off my antidepressants after 5 years, so it did find me at a particularly perfect time. But honestly, this book is incredible. Dr Jay never feels like they're talking down to twentysomethings, but they do refocus the lens just enough to make everything seem manageable: "this is really difficult, but it's actually for a different reason than you think, and isn't this one easier to tackle?"
Would highly highly recommend - especially to twentysomethings, obviously, but I think there's something significant for anyone in learning how to say "you'll grow out of it" in a way that's actually constructive and supportive.
