Jason Adam Katzenstein’s art is stunning. Told in the present tense, starting when he was a young boy, we are taken on his journey through life with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everything is an Emergency puts us inside Katzenstein’s brain and shows that OCD is much more than merely being tidy — it’s seemingly inane obsessions that disrupt daily life until the ritual is complete. This mental illness graphic memoir will give you a much deeper understanding of this disorder.

I will always read Helen Ellis's books, no matter what. Such a delight—and even better on audio.
“Achea Redd’s Authentic You. is a cute welcome-to-adolescence guidebook that’s perfect for girls who are learning to navigate the mental and emotional changes of growing up.”

Haunting. Susannah’s a writer for the New York Post when she starts acting a little funny. She’s paranoid about everything — bugs infesting her apartment, weird bites on her arms, everyone whispering about her as she walks by — and can’t sleep, can’t eat. An under-researched disease overtakes her brain, eventually leaving her virtually catatonic. But then one doctor does a simple test, figures out what’s wrong, and finds the cure. She makes a full recovery.
But the months in between? Not so happy. She can’t remember a thing that happened to her, so this book is one big investigative piece for herself, about herself. She interviews her family, friends, and doctors. She gathers her medical papers. She watches the videos that recorded her while she stayed in the epilepsy ward.
I haven’t read a book like this in ages. It had me completely enthralled and terrified the whole way through.
