Summary of Ryan Casey Waller's Depression, Anxiety, and Other Things We Don't Want to Talk About

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The circumstances that bring mental illness to light are often a surprise to everyone involved. Sometimes it’s a friend or loved one, or perhaps someone you respected and admired from afar, who you never imagined to be struggling. #2 We must be honest with ourselves about what’s going on in our hearts and minds, because getting honest with ourselves is a difficult task. If we can’t admit that we struggle with anxiety and depression, we will never be able to heal. #3 Depression is extremely intelligent, and it will try to convince you to do the opposite of what’s best for you. It can take your deeply held values and throw them out the window, making you do things you wouldn’t do otherwise. #4 The first step on the journey toward mental health is to understand and believe that you are not alone. Understanding and believing this is the first step on the journey toward mental health.
