'Clever, kind, funny and wise, this book is an uplifting and useful addition to your self help library.’ Daisy Buchanan, How to Be a Grown-Up We’re all talking about mental health a lot more now than we were ten years ago, which is great . . . isn’t it? 'Clever, kind, funny and wise, this book is an uplifting and useful addition to your self help library.’ Daisy Buchanan, How to Be a Grown-Up We’re all talking about mental health a lot more now than we were ten years ago, which is great . . . isn’t it? Kate Lucey has been ‘officially’ depressed (as in, diagnosed) for six years. In that time she’s experienced everything from bad therapy, knock-out meds, and friends-with-too-many-opinions, to good therapy, medication, and solutions that actually work. This book recognises that getting help is not as easy as ‘just telling someone’ or ‘taking some pills’. It weaves real peoples’ experiences of depression with the opinions of actual qualified experts and facts from scientific studies to create a no-nonsense guide to mental health. Funny, irreverent, and relatable, Get a Grip, Love also tells you what to say to those mates who fancy themselves as amateur psychologists, and speaks honestly about how it feels to live with a mental health disorder. Crucially, as well as poking fun at mental illness and all its absurdities (because what are we without laughter, hey?), Kate reminds you that it’s fine not to feel ok. That you can go back to crying at any time. And that you do not need to get a grip. 'Clever, kind, funny and wise, this book is an uplifting and useful addition to your self help library. Kate's voice is such a big, positive part of the evolving mental health conversation. This book made me feel like I could actually survive 2020. It's brilliant.'

The hilarious, honest story about living with depression, and how-to self help guide to recovering from a mental health illness • We have never been in more need of mental health help. Prescriptions for anti-depressants are at an all time high, and 1 in 4 people in the UK alone will experience a mental health problem each year. • Since 2013 millennials have seen a 47% increase in depression diagnoses, with 7 in 10 now reporting to having experienced a mental health issue. This generation is also changing the narrative on depression, being more willing to speak about mental health issues and therapy than any before. This is a book for those people. • This is the first book to address the accusations that are made about ‘entitled millennials ruining everything’ who are also struggling with mental health problems. GET A GRIP, LOVE will allow its readers to feel the way they do, and give them responses to others telling them to ‘get a grip, love’. • Mental health writing continues to be a trend. The enduring popularity of Bryony Gordon, Matt Haig, Dolly Alderton and others shows an appetite for relatable stories around this subject. • Kate Lucey is a well-connected journalist.
