The hilarious, honest story about living with depression, and how-to self help guide to recovering from a mental health illness • We have never been in more need of mental health help. Prescriptions for anti-depressants are at an all time high, and 1 in 4 people in the UK alone will experience a mental health problem each year. • Since 2013 millennials have seen a 47% increase in depression diagnoses, with 7 in 10 now reporting to having experienced a mental health issue. This generation is also changing the narrative on depression, being more willing to speak about mental health issues and therapy than any before. This is a book for those people. • This is the first book to address the accusations that are made about ‘entitled millennials ruining everything’ who are also struggling with mental health problems. GET A GRIP, LOVE will allow its readers to feel the way they do, and give them responses to others telling them to ‘get a grip, love’. • Mental health writing continues to be a trend. The enduring popularity of Bryony Gordon, Matt Haig, Dolly Alderton and others shows an appetite for relatable stories around this subject. • Kate Lucey is a well-connected journalist. She was ex-editor of Sugarscape.com and Cosmo.co.uk, and is now a freelance editor writing for, among others, Sunday Times Magazine, XXX, and has a regular column as the mental health writer on the Metro.
