I'm currently reading an evolutionary theory of deperession analysis and I must say, it is extremely helpful and insightful when trying to understand what those around you live through and ways they may cope with, (MDD).
I am extremely passionate about mental health disorders and the care provided to those who suffer from such. I am especially passionate about poc with mental disorders as they are often demonised and deconstructed like animals by media outlets, predominately white funded corperations and even the justice system. hopefully this analysis of MDD will help those uninformed about it and open up eyes, ears and hearts.
"Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain, and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do."

Guilty over the belief that she’s responsible for her mom’s death, Riley is desperate to see her mother’s spirit to get her forgiveness. When her father moves the family to Scotland so they can all start again, Riley believes her life couldn’t get worse that is until the ghost of nineteen year old Ian MacKinnon catches her self-harming . An uneasy truce turns into Riley crushing on Ian hard as EVER. Riley knows her gift could help Ian end the curse that has kept him tied to the land for eternity, but that would mean letting him go for the rest of her life on earth and she ain't sure she is strong enough to do that. As if her life wasn’t complicated enough, the dark spirit of the girl who is around the same age as Riley who killed Ian returns and she will not stop at nothing to keep Riley from helping Ian find peace(with his loved ones). Rating 🌟 out of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love this book so much because it is a beautiful tale of love ,malevolence benevolence ,dark spirits and death rolled into one.I really enjoyed the fact that when you read the book you felt like the character and you too fell in love with Ian even though he is as old as history himself...lol. The book was also really passionate and I thought I was going to stop around with rage near the end when Ian leaves recommendation ❄️ I recommend this book to young adults and teens of about 13+ because it is quite deep and it is about self harm spells and has some strong language not much but there is enough.you will love this book if you love books like the hunger game and other dark fairytale books. Ps; please get this book it is only £5:00 and it is free on iPad and kindle which it awesome !!!!
A dark chilling thriller set in London, everyone over 14 is dead or has been attacked by a horrible illness, and the young ones like freak and tiny Tim are in danger all the time , danger of being eaten by psychotic boil-riven grown-ups who creep around the streets looking for children to kill and feast upon ,even there own parents wants to chomp on there children's flesh .looked after by the oldest in there gang Arran and Maxie and armed with temporary ,they hope weapons, a group of kids get out from the safety of a "shipwrecked" supermarket to travel to Buckingham Palace, where a young message deliverer promises that food, medicine, and a safe roof over there head are available. Along the way someone dies ,you have to read the book to find out who .One youngster selfishly decides to stay behind with a secret stash of food and is there to tell Small Sam, who gets taken and feared torn limb from limb where the others have headed. My review 👣 I have been going to the library down my road for moths and time and time again I have seen it picked it up read the blurb and put it back down like it was poisonous ,then I finally made the decision to stop being a numpty and read it I was amazed it was amazing . WWW-it captures you like a Venus fly trap. And consumes you and you have to fight yourself out of it it is so good ,this is definitely one for Halloween I love it especially the really grusome parts .....most of the time EBI -ummmmmmmm nothing maybe if they put me in it hahaha Now what we have been waiting for stars....ll.l⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Who should read it and why As I said it is an amazing book but it is quite deep and emotional I mean what book wouldn't be if it was about you own parents half dead and trying to kill you ,but not just that it has stong language and even some parts of it I cringed at because of the nature of it and a 13 year old being ripped limb from limb by a deranged creature that roamed the earth so I think it is about 13+ (if you have a strong stomach).
Bulging brains is an anatomy book all about our wonderful bodies and what they do.This book explains what our bodies do during the time we are alive .Bulging brains explains what happens when your body is under stress and answers common questions like.....well you will have to read this perfect balance between being informative and captivatingly funny also known as a book to find out !Won't you ?
The reason why I found this book amazing was because it gave me a new way or even a new reason to praise God for my body because God has made it so complex yet so beautiful .i mean did you know that there are no pain receptors in the brain, so the brain can feel no pain and that The weight of the human brain is round about 3 lbs and last but certainly not least there are 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the brain.i know ,wow those are awesome facts !
I'm not normally into the non-fiction genre but this book was so hilariously funny I couldn't put it down! For me I found It had some very weird but informative facts that I would never have dreamed about or even probably wanted to think about as they where so complex. However Nick Arnold ,(the author of this book) really put it in perspective and in a way for me to understand .So thumbs up! Rating & recommendation !!!!!!!xxxxx
Bulging brains got ....***** stars out of five as this book was what it said on the cover 100% horrible but painfully funny I couldn't even read a sentence without a giggle rupturing out of my mouth!bulging brains is a really good book to read when you are either having a not so funny day ,for that will surely make you laugh.Or when you are having one of those random but inquisitive days because this book answers many questions to do with bodily functions and parts so you won't be bothering your mom,dad,sisters or brothers with questions that know one else particularly cares about except you ! I recommend this book to children 10+ as it mentions things like dissection and gory things children under ten might find quite discomforting and unusually freaky !
Please read this book it's round about £6.00 depending on where you go but it is an amazing read and I am sure anyone who is interested in biology would love it .well at least that's why I do!

Family is really important ;that is the lesson lizzie learnt in this poignant book called Lizzie Zipmouth by Jacqueline Wilson ,it is the story a girl called Lizzie and her mummy . Lizzie has recently got fed up and has decided not to speak because Lizzie's previous step dad mentally abused Lizzie and her mother so Lizzie and her mom made the big decision to run away from this violent and repulsive man. but soon after ,Lizzie's mother fell in love with a different man called Sam .he was a very kind man but (lizzie didn't think so) .Sam had two sons one called Rory and the other called Jake this finally made Lizzie snap as she thought her mother was making the same mistake but Sam was intact the opposite of what Lizzie had first believed i fact he was a kind loving man but of-course Lizzie didn't know this so she carried on being stubborn and silent until she met somebody in the family who was very old ,her new step great gran who was as judgemental and stubborn as Lizzie so through there two faults they bonded and found they both had the same hobby an obsession. collecting china dolls ! that where all shapes and sizes . . . Then something changed her new great gran and friend had a massive stroke causing her not to be able to speak or move! Lizzie was so worried she couldn't sleep, eat and she even started crying in her sleep but then finally when her step dad Sam agreed to let lizzie go and see her great gran in hospital Lizzie was regretting it as she saw everyone either crying or dying but then she saw her gran and Lizzie was actually very happy when she came even though she couldn't interact with her .but in the hospital a miracle happened through Lizzie's new found cheekiness she taught her great gran to speak once more !!!
By Lizzie's experience she understands that family are really important and you will miss them when they are not there and there is a thing called unconditional love !!! I enjoyed this book because Jacqueline Wilson wrote it in such a way I couldn't put it down and I got sucked into this experience and I was Lizzie I was even anxious for her grandmother so Jacqueline Wilson taught me how to sympathise and empathise so for me I found it like a non biblical parable .

It’s ok I am wearing really
big knickers!
“It’s ok I am wearing really
big knickers!”-a hilariously funny insight to the confessions of a teenage girl!
But as the title of the book states not any normal teenage girl a girl who
thinks her life is “totally unfab, “due to her embarrassing parents and a little
sister called Libby, Georgia being the main character thinks Libby is completely
bonkers because amongst other things she is a cat kisser! In one chapter Libby picks up Angus the cat up and kisses his nose then puts him back
down an licks his fur then proceeds and dresses him up like little Bo peep . Rennison
makes that bit funny by emphasising the fact that Georgia’s sibling has no self-shame.
The reason why I love this
book is because it’s closer to life than a teenage fantasy book. Popular teenage
fantasy books like twilight where they have an immortal war love triangles and
a love, life and death situation in every chapter. I guess you can say I absolutely
love this book and really enjoyed this book because I could relate to this
bubbly girls hope, dreams and wishes.
I was in hysterics laughing when
I read this book. This is a must read on a long journey
or a rainy day.
My rating and recommendation
5 stars – when I read this book I felt like I was in a bubble of happiness,
there is nothing better than being snug
in bed with this book! I recommend this book to girls 11+ because it is quite a
complicated book because it knuckles down on the core feelings of a teenage
girl who is the victim of embarrassment, family embarrassment.
The book Pig Heart Boy is about a boy who will die in a year if he fails to get an organ transplant – the shock is it’s from a Pig!
I felt sympathy for Cameron – the Pig Heart boy of the book title, because he has not got many choices or chances to live.After a fatal heart disease which he seemed to get over, he was left slowly dying.
Malorie Blackman, is a really good writer who writes books that are close to life and captures the imagination of the young audiences like me.She also opened up a new portal of a new aspect of life for me to explore and challenge.
The story is packed full of laughter and tears [bathos in bagfuls] and made me feel like I was there with Cameron – watching him die –but fighting to live. I wanted to tell Cameron to stay strong and carry on.
I can never find a good book to read and I get bored –but when I read Pig Heart Boy – I could not put in down.Even the synopsis was enticing .
Here is Malorie blackman in action talking about her book pig heart boy.
