Why am I like this? : my brain isn't broken (and neither is yours) / Gemma Styles.

Summary:

"In her internationally bestselling debut book--which draws on her own experience with mental health issues and neurodivergence--writer, podcaster, and advocate Gemma Styles captures the voice of her generation as she gets curious about how we tick in order to better understand and navigate the unique pressures of life today. In the face of unprecedented levels of loneliness, burnout, and insecurity, and referencing the insight of experts and brand new research, Why Am I Like This? shows that by harnessing the power of curiosity and compassion, we can start to feel more hopeful, connected, and at peace with ourselves and each other. From how we communicate, to our ambitions and self-image, Gemma paints a picture of mental health in the digital age, including her own journey and ADHD diagnosis to highlight the ways in which women's mental health in particular is often overlooked or trivialized." --Amazon
