Matt Haig, author of Reasons to Stay Alive ‘A must-read’ ***** Reader review ‘An honest and relatable read, which has made the topic of mental health accessible…Will be gifting my friends a copy’ ***** Reader review Why do I feel so overwhelmed? Is everyone else achieving more than me? Why did I say that embarrassing thing? What can I do to actually make a difference? Am I the only one who feels this way? In Why Am I Like This?, award-winning podcaster Gemma Styles captures the voice of her generation, giving words to those feelings so many of us struggle to explain. Drawing on her own experience with mental health issues and neurodivergence, Gemma paints a picture of mental health in the digital age, including her own journey and ADHD diagnosis, to highlight the ways in which mental health is often overlooked or trivialized. Featuring the insight of experts and the latest research, Gemma shows that by being curious and compassionate, we can start to feel more hopeful, connected and at peace with ourselves. Thought-provoking and heartening, this book is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, less than, or that they don't belong.

Review :
I like your ambition with this book ... it’s reassuring to know that we all have these doubts and anxieties – it’s relatable. Authentic and relatable, Gemma demystifies mental health and helps us feel less alone in our daily struggles. An honest and reassuring take on mental health. Through sharing her own experiences alongside well researched facts and statistics we’ve got a very personal but extremely informative look at a subject that still carries a stigma. ‘Why am I like this’ is a giant step closer to the conversation around mental health truly opening up. I feel enlightened and better for reading it.
