In this clear and supportive guide to young people's mental health, Juno Dawson, author of This Book is Gay, and clincal pyschologist Dr Olviia Hewitt discuss a range of isses - whether fleeting or long-term - and how to manage them.

With witty illsutrations from Gemma Correll, Juno and Dr Olivia cover topics from anxiety and depression to addiction, self-harm and personality disorders, with dozens of life stories from people just like you, who are living with mental illness.
