A Call In My Head

The mind, which is where it all begins; the voices that shape our perception of life,
the voices that trigger our thoughts and actions. How humans think and act is
primarily guided by our thought process, our voice of reason is what differentiates
us from other living entities and places us above them. It is therefore pertinent for
us to guard jealously; our mental health...our sanity.
Oftentimes, it is quite difficult for people to understand what they cannot see.
Unlike physical ailments that can be easily noticed and unashamedly spoken about,
people struggle to understand and empathize with mental health issues. Even those
suffering such issues struggle to understand, accept, and seek help regarding their
conditions. Ours has become a world filled with happy looking yet depressed
people, little wonder death due to suicide is at an all-time high.
The suicide rate amongst youths especially has significantly increased since the
COVID pandemic.
Mental health conditions have been implicated as a major trigger to suicidal
thoughts and suicide. It is therefore imperative now more than ever to create more
awareness about mental health issues and more importantly, arm the populace with
coping mechanisms to rise above this menace eating deep into our society.
An optimum state of mind has been proven to abate the complications of some
major psychological conditions.
This book uses the art of storytelling to narrate relatable incidences that mirror
some pertinent mental health issues affecting the modern world. It educates and
creates more awareness about them and gives therapeutic coping mechanisms as
inspired by professional mental therapists and life lessons
