Reviews

"“Enlivening, engaging, and enraging—Misty Pratt takes the reader by the hand to explore the myriad ways we fail women’s mental health and set women’s minds, brains, and bodies up for failure. I hope this makes you mad.” —Anna Mehler Paperny, author of Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me ""Beautifully written and meticulously researched, All in Her Head is one part medical mystery and one part group therapy session. If you’ve ever felt frustrated or exhausted by painfully simplistic one-size-fits-all mental health advice, you’ll appreciate the wise, compassionate, and unapologetically political voice of Misty Pratt. Her key takeaway message? It doesn’t have to be this way. Women deserve so much better.” —Ann Douglas, author, Navigating The Messy Middle: A Fiercely Honest and Wildly Encouraging Guide for Midlife Women “In this captivating debut, Pratt seamlessly blends personal experience with hard-nosed research to expose how women fall through the cracks of mental health care and what can be done about it. While gently guiding readers on her own depression journey, Pratt masterfully weaves expert narrative alongside heartfelt interviews and facts, offering a path through the mental health maze by means of advocacy, education and empowerment. All In Her Head belongs on every bookshelf as a call to action and a powerful, informative read.” —Kelly S. Thompson, bestselling author of Still, I Cannot Save You and Girls Need Not Apply"
