The Light Within The Darkness: Mental Management & Mind Manipulation by Aisha Khan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Positive and motivational!

This book takes us on a journey in the author's life and examines the troubles she has faced due to her mental health issues. Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand, but it is our desire to get better, to heal and to understand our own selfworth that helps us overcome these obstacles or illnesses.

Psychological wounds can be invisible but it still hurts, and influences not only our perception of life but also the entire worldview through which we judge our situations or circumstances.

Depression can make us feel insecure, guilty or even worthless. Throughout this book, the narrator attempts to reflect on these nuances of mental health, tracing reasons which lead to frustration and a sense of powerlessness during the course of treatment and therapy. External treatment can be effective only when we have the mentality to accept our own shortcomings.

A motivational read, this book covers an important subject in brief and gives the readers some handy tips to deal with it. Recommended for those who are interested in reading memoirs and tales of struggle against mental health issues!
