SHHH! DON'T TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

Hey BookLovers
For today, We'll be talking about SHHH! DON'T TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH by ARJUN GUPTA.

BLURB
In the 19th year of his life, Yashasvi tried to end his life. Follow the journey of Yashasvi and millions of other people who are tormented by their own minds. This is not a self-help book. Mental health is no longer just about helping yourself. It is a movement against an invisible crisis that breeds inside our minds. A crisis that makes you question the voice in your head. Yes, the same voice that is reading this out to you.
True stories, research, statistics and facts. This book will convince you why mental health cannot be just about self-help anymore, and why people like Yashasvi need our help.

MY REVIEW
1. Cover
The cover of the book is very much attractive and appealing.

2. Title
The title of the book "Shhh! Don't talk about mental health" tells us about the society and how everyone doesn't like talking about mental health and how everyone deserves to be treated properly.

3. Plot
After seeing the title, a person can easily think that it is a self- help book.
It isn't.
This is just a book which tells us how and why being quiet about your mental health is no longer an option.
It contains different facts about people who actually came out and helped people with mental health issues and the people who suffer due to some or the other mental illness.

4. Recommended for:
I recommend this book to everyone.
Be it a beginner or an avid reader.
Everyone needs to speak about mental health.

MY RATINGS: 5 out of 5 stars

A big thank you to the Author for writing a book like this.
