BENEATH : MIND MATTERS - MIND MATTERS  (Paperback, Dr Nina Apra)

What lies beneath the surface of a troubled mind? Fear, despair, confusion or perhaps strength, resilience, and untapped courage? Mental health is not just a condition to be diagnosed; it is a journey filled with struggles, strategies, and moments of triumph. It is raw, unpredictable, and deeply human. BENEATH: MIND MATTERS is not just a book; it is a mirror reflecting the silent battles fought behind closed doors, the whispered cries for help, and the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to give up. This collection brings together real-life stories of individuals who have faced the darkness of mental health struggles some emerging victorious, others learning to navigate their storms with courage and wisdom. Here, you will find stories of courage, failures that paved the way for comebacks, and the harsh truths hidden beneath statistics and medical jargon. It discusses facts, explores research, and engages in thought-provoking discussions, all while holding space for the deeply personal and emotional journeys of those who have lived through it. Mental health is a conversation that needs to happen not behind closed doors, not in hushed tones, but openly, fearlessly, and with compassion. Whether you are someone struggling, a loved one trying to understand, or a professional seeking deeper insight, BENEATH: MIND MATTERS is here to remind you that no mind should suffer in silence. Let this book be the beginning of a conversation, a step toward healing, and a ray of hope for those who need it mos"We would never tell someone with a broken leg that they should stop wallowing and get it together. We don’t consider taking medication for an ear infection something to be ashamed of. We shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently.” — Michelle Obama "Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.” — Steven Aitchison "Not all battles are visible and neither are the victories.” — Brittany Burgunder “The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is, you don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent." — — Demi Lovato
