Book Description

Dating is hard—but when you live with anxiety, OCD, and/or depression, dating can feel like a minefield. At last, a book that focuses solely on mental health and dating—an intersection that demands attention, given that one in five Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year. Overthinking About You is a memoir-driven self-help book that explores the complex connection between brain and heart. Allison Raskin, a New York Times bestselling author, actress, director, and cocreator of the YouTube comedy channel and podcast Just Between Us, uses her funny, raw, no-holds-barred voice to share her dating history during the highs and lows of her mental health journey, weaving in prescriptive, accessible advice from licensed psychotherapists and other experts. The result is an engaging, useful, and relatable read for anyone whose mental health has gotten in the way of successful romantic relationships.
