In the bestselling graphic memoir Anxietyland, award-winning cartoonist, writer, and illustrator Gemma Correll leads readers through the amusement park of her own mind, chronicling her lifelong experience with anxiety and depression through humor and visual metaphor. Featured in The New Yorker, on NPR, and as Molly Ringwald's inaugural book club pick, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant says, "Get ready to laugh at your neuroses—and feel seen, too." Correll shares the process of using humor and illustration to make difficult mental health experiences accessible and relatable; the power of visual storytelling and how illustration expresses emotions and internal experiences that words alone cannot; creating work that makes readers feel seen and less alone in their struggles; and how sharing personal stories through art helps reduce stigma and open up conversations around mental health.
