Endorsement for my new book, There and Back Again, OUT NOW!!!

"I recommend this inspiring book to any teenager or young adult who is facing the challenges of coping with a mental illness.  In her first person account, Ms. Grossman reveals not only how she struggled with her mental illness in college but also how she effectively coped and built a life worth living.  She suggests the key to coping is the deep acceptance of having a mental illness which then allows an individual to access the necessary treatments and to make the necessary adjustments in one's life to achieve one's goals.  Cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are treatment approaches she reports being most helpful in her recovery.  If you want to feel a sense of inspiration and hope, I urge you to read this book."

Endorsements for my first book, There and Back Again

"This book is extraordinary.  It plainly spells out the realities of clinical depression without being depressing, and then in a way that anyone can understand, provides a guide for overcoming the illness, for becoming healthy again.  But equally important, it radiates hope and the promise of recovery, while it challenges the reader to take responsibility for dealing with their condition.  This book should be required reading."
