A collection of interviews, personal stories, poetry and short prose from around the world on the themes of anxiety and depression.

NOW AVAILABLE!!



The SEVENTH in our Poetry for Mental Health book series.

"Such extremely important topics, affecting so many people."

It is undeniable that putting thoughts, feelings and emotions into words, on paper, can be both therapeutic and an incredibly effective method of self-help and healing. In Anxiety & Depression, writers and poets around the world (including: Australia, England, USA, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Philippines, Italy, India, Canada, Ukraine, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Cameroon, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Wales, Malawi, South Africa, Nigeria and Estonia) explore the themes of anxiety and depression, either from their own personal perspectives and experiences, or from the experiences of friends, family and people close by. Thought-provoking and emotional, but also positive and uplifting too as, for many, putting their thoughts and feelings into words has set many on the road to creativity, healing and ultimately recovery.


With 114 contributors, 280 pages, and over 500 individual pieces, this has been our most contributed anthology to date! A brilliant collection from probably some of the best writers and poetry on mental health in the world!
