Your twenties can be isolating, infuriating and painful—but how do you stay healthy and realistic when you’re also dealing with depression, mania, or anxiety? Emily Reynolds’s A Beginner’s Guide to Losing Your Mind explores the unique challenges, including: how to deal with pressure at school and college; tips for dating when you are mentally ill (and what to expect when you’re on the other side); handling self-harm and suicidal thoughts; advice for your family and friends; learning how to navigate the internet and the online community; and advice on diagnosis, treatment, and maintaining your mental health.

This is a blackly funny, deeply compassionate, and extremely practical book—a personal account of what it’s like to live with mental illness, a guide to dealing with and understanding it, and a companion to make the journey feel a little less lonely.

“This book isn’t just brilliantly written and welcoming in its tone; it’s honest, practical and important. It is going to help so many people – including friends and family who desperately want to help a loved one but don’t know how.” — Emma Gannon

“Emily Reynolds is a brilliant writer on an important subject. And hilarious too. I need to go and do another thing now, which is annoying, cos I can’t stop reading this brilliant, brilliant book.” — Adam Rutherford

“This is a funny, brutal, kind, sobering, remarkably brave and clear-eyed book. Compelling and necessary.” — Warren Ellis
