    Hi! I'm new in here so probably this suggestion has already been asked, but anyways I'll still try 🙂

    I've been searching for books that talk or have certain aspects about mental disorders, ( specifically: depression. )

    I'm a really big fan of poetry, philosophy and psychology, and I know big authors of poetry like Sylvia Plath, but I was looking for a book that really impressed or have leave you a mark.

    Sorry if this suggestion has been already asked. sorry

    1. A strange pick, but for me my favorite book is 10% Happier by Dan Harris.

      The guy’s kinda a jerk. He’s a news reporter who has a bad panic attack on air and knew he had to get his life under control. He’s a skeptic but went looking for mental health help everywhere from religion to science to illegal drugs.

      He was skeptical about meditation but eventually landed on that, calculating that a few minutes a day could make him 10% happier and it was an acceptable trade-off.

      I just liked the book ***because*** he was a jerk and skeptical and tried so many things.
