Description

Lisa is joined by Allison Raskin, comedian, host of the popular "Just Between Us" podcast, mental health advocate, and New York Times bestselling author - knows the challenges of navigating romantic relationships with mental health issues firsthand. She was diagnosed with OCD at 4 years old and also lives with general anxiety disorder.  Allison joins Lisa to talk about her book, OVERTHINKING ABOUT YOU: NAVIGATING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS WHEN YOU HAVE ANXIETY, OCD, AND/OR DEPRESSION.There are countless books on dating and many books on how to cope with mental illness. But, shockingly, there are very few books that explores the complex intersection of romance and mental health. With radical vulnerability, humor, and compassion, the new book: Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression - gives readers the tools to better understand themselves and what they want in a partner. It's a road map for what to do with this information - all while living with mental health issues. The book is for everyone - whether you have a doctor's diagnosis or just find yourself overthinking about you!Raskin seamlessly weaves her own mental health and dating journey with a wealth of advice from clinical psychologists, a psychiatrist, relationship experts, and real-life couples.  The result? A useful, laugh-out-loud blend of memoir and self-help that gives readers tangible tips on navigating dating and romance while supporting their own mental health.  Featuring lessons learned from Raskin’s own love life and interviews with top health experts, Raskin’s nonfiction debut -  [Workman Publishing; on sale May 3, 2022; $16.95] - explores the complex intersection of romance and mental health. The hope is that, similar to Raskin, readers will walk away from this book feeling less alone in the struggle and better prepared to tackle dating and relationships with more confidence and less worry.  Chapters cover everything from sharing mental health histories with partners, to side effects of medication, to online dating, and much more. Each chapter conveniently ends with a bulleted list of key takeaways.
