IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD!
This book is now available through Rebecca’s Dream
Author and illustrator Marlee F. is a teen living successfully with depression. As Marlee struggled to understand her thoughts, feelings and moods she created “It’s all in your head.” Marlee’s passion became helping teens easily understand they are not alone during difficult mental health challenges ~ help she wishes she had during her early years of confusion and shame.
Mental disorders don’t discriminate.
One in five teens are affected by some form of disorder severe enough to impact their daily lives.
However, with professional help and self-care most teens feel better within 4-6 weeks.
‘’It’s all in your Head” contains information about: ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, stigma, symptoms and ways to cope.
A small book with huge impact for those needing and wanting to know more quickly and easily about mental illnesses and teens.
(10:15-10:22) “My own healing was for people to listen to me and for people to be able to say I don’t know what you’re going through personally but I’m willing to listen and I’m trying to understand to the best of my ability.”
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”
– Harriet Beecher Stowe
