We\u2019re all talking about mental health a lot more now than we were ten years ago, which is great\u2026 isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Kate Lucey has been \u2018officially\u2019 depressed (as in, diagnosed) for six years. In that time she\u2019s experienced everything from bad therapy, knock-out meds, and friends-with-too-many-opinions, to good therapy, medication, and solutions that actually work.<\/p>\n
This book recognises that getting help is not as easy as \u2018just telling someone\u2019 or \u2018taking some pills\u2019. It weaves real peoples\u2019 experiences of depression with the opinions of actual qualified experts and facts from scientific studies to create a no-nonsense guide to mental health.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":391411,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[2419,7126],"featured":[],"topic_themes":[443,403,432,404,442,405],"teacher_resources__pdf":[],"age_group":[415,416],"australian_curriculum_learning_a":[4438],"text_type":[418],"by_author":[4823,7127],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/249874"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/books"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/249874\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276522,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books\/249874\/revisions\/276522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"topic_themes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic_themes?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"teacher_resources__pdf","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teacher_resources__pdf?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"age_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/age_group?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"australian_curriculum_learning_a","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/australian_curriculum_learning_a?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"text_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/text_type?post=249874"},{"taxonomy":"by_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teachershub.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/by_author?post=249874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
