Reception edit

A review in the American Journal of Psychiatry commended Hicks's phrasing of acceptable ways to speak about mental illness.[1]

A review in The National Medical Journal of India likewise applauded the book's accessibility to non-experts, though it criticized Hicks's choice of symptoms and suggested "It would be difficult for an Indian to relate to the book" due to the examples he uses.[2]

The book also received attention from Health,[3] Library Journal,[4] The Baltimore Sun,[5] and The Washington Post.[6]
