What can you really do in 10 minutes? You could call a friend, read the news, eat a bowl of cereal, or doomscroll on social media – and now, with this book, you can improve your mental health.
No matter how busy or stressful your day, with 10-minute steps and quick exercises, you can better understand and manage your experiences with depression and low mood. This book includes sections to read, questions to reflect on and things to try out in your everyday life. It covers everything from recognising low mood, dealing with risky thoughts of harm or suicide, working on healthy lifestyle factors like sleep and physical activity, and how to get yourself into the ‘zone’ where you feel focused and engaged with important and fun activities.
Using evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT, this book will help you take a problem-solving approach to negative thoughts and feelings, identify activities that bring you joy, treat yourself kindly, and get the best out of life (and not get stuck in the Doom Swamp).

Low mood is a common aspect of adolescence, but at times, teenagers may require assistance to navigate through it. This book provides a practical, hands-on manual filled with effective tools and techniques that have proven to be reliable. Written in a compassionate, easy-to-read manner, it offers material that resonates with teenagers. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
