CRAZY is an award-winning art book created by youth for youth as a visual “insider’s guide” to what depression and anxiety feel like and how they can affect your daily life and relationships.
Most of the 150 artists in Crazy were between the ages of 15 and 25. Most were in high school, college, or working. Their struggles with depression and anxiety were often unknown even to the people they were closest to.
The art and writings in Crazy are personal and real, based on first-hand experiences of youth living with mental illness. And Crazy is packed with clinical information formatted for easy reference in everyday language.
The best part of Crazy is good news about recovery–yes yours–and how to get there.
So if you or someone you know is struggling with mental illness, pick up Crazy, open its pages, and find you are not alone.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

His outlook on life may be a bit bleak, but Eeyore has an optimism about others that shows he is nurturing, non-judgmental, and capable of unconditional love; the quintessential “old soul.”
