"Talking about mental health doesn't come easily. It's a topic that's been stigmatized for a long time now—enough that some cultures even turn a blind eye to it. But mental health is as important, if not more important, than physical health. And one of the most common issues affecting our generation in particular is depression.
We get it: it's tough to open up and even tougher to get across how you feel, especially since depression manifests itself differently in each person. But we assure you that when you do, you learn that you're not alone even if you feel like you are. If you're unsure of where to start, fret not, because YA lit is a great resource!
We rounded up some of the best YA books out there that open up an honest conversation about depression."
