This page is for anyone interested in a deeper dive into mental health through books. Here are a few I have enjoyed reading, taken something from, and would strongly recommend.

Which isn't to say that I personally subscribe to every single word in their pages, but I think each of these titles offers rich insight and detailed material worth reflecting on.

I'm not embedding any links because that involves a lot more time and effort. Any popular internet search engine should help.
