dialogue around mental health: after nine months as the UK
government's mental health tsar, and a lifetime living with mental
illness, she shares essential advice in a clear A-Z format,
illustrated by Insta-favourite Rubyetc. Wherever you are on the
spectrum - because, as she says, "we all have a brain, and
therefore a mental health" - you will learn and find useful ways to
