No es un libro de autoayuda, hablar de salud mental es importante, y este libro le pone nombre a muchas cosas, tiene un par de consejos y métodos para disminuir la ansiedad, las situaciones de ansiedad o depresión pueden ser muy diversas, así que siempre es bueno valorar si es necesario acudir con un profesionista.

pretty good, covers a broad spectrum. it's a good overview. I don't think it goes too indepth but that's probably a good thing for this book.
