Happiness Is Just a Mood: How to Live With Anxiety and Depression in a World Obsessed With Always Being Happy
Millions of people around the world suffer from mental illness-so why do many of us feel alone in our struggles? Why is being unhappy seen as something to fix? And if happiness is the answer, why doesn't it work for everyone?
In Happiness Is Just a Mood, Rachel Sturm challenges society's obsession with constant happiness. Drawing from her own experience living with anxiety and depression since childhood, she explores how chasing happiness and perfection can actually worsened mental health. Diagnosed in her thirties, Rachel finally found a treatment plan that has helped her live a more fulfilling life-a plan she shares in this book that focuses on the physical, emotional, and mental symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Combining her own story with research-backed insights and practical coping strategies, Rachel offers tools to help others make their hardest days a little more manageable. She empowers people to accept the full range of human emotion-sadness, anger, joy, unhappiness, and so on-and reminds us that it is okay to not be okay.
Whether you're living with anxiety and depression yourself or supporting someone who is, Happiness Is Just a Mood offers compassionate guidance to understanding, healing, and connecting with others-even in life's darkest moments.
