Books, Books and More Books About Mental Health
May, of course, is Mental Health Month, and apparently, to celebrate, more than one website published a list of “best” mental health books on the 1st day of the month. So, in the interest of sharing good resources, and books, I thought I would share the two lists I saw:
21 Best Mental Health Books of All Time
21 Important Books That Address Mental Health Topics
I’ve read a couple of the books on the lists, but I’m not familiar with others at all, so if you have any opinions on any of the lists, the book on the lists, or book that you think should be on the lists, leave a comment and let us know!
