What if the mental health symptoms we face aren't the actual problem? What if they're signals that help us see and solve the real problem--the imbalances in our wider systems that are making us all sick?

As our world clashes and collapses around us, it's no surprise that one in two of us will be diagnosed with a mental health condition by the age of 40, with one in five people affected each year. It's hard to view all our mental health symptoms as disordered if so many of us are experiencing them. Perhaps it's not that something's gone wrong in our bodies and minds, but that something's gone right: These symptoms are brilliant alarms and adaptions to survive a disordered world. Having sensitive protective functions that sound alarms or short-circuit when we're threatened isn't a design flaw. It's a design success.

As a psychiatrist, professor, and mental health speaker, Joanna Cheek argues that we're not broken or doing it wrong when we're stressed or struggling. As our systems are pushed to the brink of collapse, self-improvement alone neglects the source of our suffering. Instead, to care for ourselves, we must heal the imbalances in our wider systems that keep making us all sick. In It's Not You. It's the World, Dr. Cheek offers a survival guide of mental health tools to care for both ourselves and our collectives, helping us understand and befriend our alarms so we can come together to solve the shared problems they're signaling.

With a foreword by Gabor Mat�, chapter-by-chapter guidance, and practical action to empower, connect, and instill hope in the reader, It's Not You. It's The World is the go-to guide for anyone feeling depressed, anxious, enraged, despairing, numb, or sick from adapting to a world on fire.

Joanna Cheek, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist, psychotherapist trained in dozens of modalities, researcher, meditation teacher, journalist, and Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine. She co-created the national-award-winning Mind Space collective, offering publicly-funded mental health workshops to teach effective mental health strategies through connection and care to tens of thousands of community members and physicians who, like us all, experience the mental health symptoms that arise from living in a disordered world.
