Beneath the Surface: A Teen's Guide to Reaching Out When You or Your Friend Is in Crisis by Kristi Hugstad

informative medium-paced

1.0

This is just surface level even though it states it gets beneath the surface of mental health in teens.  The book is a heavy hitter with depression and anxiety and a touch of PTSD but there is way more than that that a teen could face.  Sure there is mention of bipolar, but not a definition, mention of behavioral problems never defined, other anxiety disorders are not clocked in, and nothing, even a word, on the schizophrenia spectrum disorder is in sight.  It is a very surface level of mental.  It is a quick listen, a little over three hours, but the content is not of any depth.  Some of the suggestions to help MH are all the basics, exercise, a gratitude list, healthy food, and good sleep.
