Feeling sad sometimes is a normal part of being human. But for some people, the sad feelings overtake everything else, leaving them hopeless and empty. The things that used to make them feel happy dont make them feel that way anymore. Having depression is a very common and very serious mental disorder. However, there are ways to fight depression, get treatment, and feel better.

The disorder known as schizophrenia, which roughly means split mind, is one of the most misunderstood mental disorders. People with the condition experience hallucinations and delusions as their brains struggle to interpret various mixed-up signals. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments of schizophrenia will help reduce the stigma surrounding this rare but frightening disorder.

Families are the center of most kids livesparents are their guides and protectors, while siblings are their first friends. Threats to family unity can be frightening, be it fighting and divorce, sickness and death, or some other issue, like deployment or deportation. This book explores various family fears and offers advice about how to manage anxiety about what might (but probably wont) occur. Fear and anxiety are completely normal parts of growing up. Fear keeps us from climbing too high up that tree, while anxiety reminds us that we ought to study for that test tomorrow. But when anxiety gets out of control, it can rob kids of their educations, friends, and happiness. The set Childhood Fears and Anxieties takes a warm, supportive look at these feelings and how they can be managed.
