Hi everyone,

i am new to this and this is my first time posting on the forum.

i am 19 years old and currently struggle with depression and anxiety for basically as long as I can remember.

i just have a question, I was wondering what are the best books to help with anxiety and/or depression? What have you found that helps the most and where can you get them?

Thanks in advance

Hi Em,

Good on you for posting. I hope you don’t mind if I extend a gentle welcome to you to the forums 🙂

You sound as though you have been struggling for some time. Living with depression and anxiety for so long must be draining and difficult. I feel for you...

About books to help anxiety and depression, sorry, I must say that I’m probably not the best person to answer that question. It’s mostly because I don’t tend to read much when I’m particularly down or anxious, and when I do, the books don’t tend to have much to do with mental health. My apologies again...

Hopefully someone else chimes in on the book front 🙂

Also, please feel free to write again if you feel like it. You’re most welcome to use this space to self express, share troubles or vent.

Kind thoughts,

Pepper
