Depression affects 1 in 15 adults. Every 28 seconds, someone dies by suicide. Females attempt suicide more than twice as often as males. It's difficult to read, but these are real statistics. It hits even harder when you realize that someone you know may be silently suffering in a world that treats conversations about mental health as taboo. Harley Vaughn set out on a challenging endeavor by writing a book about her personal mental health struggles-in poetic form. Within the pages of Trigger Warning, she explores depression, self-harm, and the courage of getting help. In addition, she writes about what most young adults experience in their lives-love, loss, and self-esteem struggles-and also things no woman should experience. More than 1 in 3 women will experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner. Vaughn turns that hard fact-and her own experience-into prose as well. Trigger Warning is a collection of poems about the downward spiral of mental health issues, the many battles most young women undergo in their lifetimes, and the celebration of triumph and recovery.
