Mental Health @ Home by Ashley L. Peterson
Mental health begins at home—
your home base, your centre, your place of strength and support.
MH@H Books
My newest book, Managing the Depression Puzzle by Ashley L. Peterson, takes a holistic, everything up to and including the kitchen sink approach to dealing with depression.
The other titles from MH@H Books, Making Sense of Psychiatric Diagnosis and Psych Meds Made Simple, aim to cut through the stigma and misconceptions to provide accurate information about topics that affect people living with mental illness.
About the blog
This blog takes a no-holds-barred look at a variety of issues related to mental health. It draws on my dual perspectives as a mental health nurse (and former pharmacist) and person living with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
The goal is to raise awareness about mental illness, educate around a wide variety of mental health issues, and create a community where people can feel comfortable speaking openly about mental health without fear of judgment.
Mental Health @ Home is one of Feedspot’s Top 75 Mental Health Blogs, Websites & Influencers in 2020. It’s also on Blunt Therapy’s Best Mental Health Blogs list and the Psychreg Index of mental health blogs.
MH@H Features
At the core of Mental Health @ Home is mental health and illness. While I personally live with depression, the blog covers a much broader range of topics.
This coping toolkit has a collection of tools and resources to support mental health.
The Insights Into Psychology series explores terms from psychology and related fields.
There’s also a collection of psychological tests.
Community is what makes blogging so special!
Guest bloggers are regularly featured in the emerging blogger & wounded healer interview series.
Resources to support fellow bloggers can be found on the blogging & writing tips page as well as the new blogger’s guide to WordPress.
Fighting mental illness stigma is a core mission of MH@H.
There are weekly mental health book reviews, often featuring books by fellow bloggers.
Social justice is a passion that goes hand in hand with fighting stigma. There’s no justice without justice for all.
I have a strong background in science, and like to call out pseudoscience when I see it.
