Your Mental Health is the Most Important Thing by Tanya LaReese Jackson Green offers a compelling narrative that blends memoir and advocacy as the author shares her journey through family hardships and emotional struggles. Initially, I expected the book to be a traditional self-help book. Still, it is much more: it instead chronicles Tanya's life, which is marked by the early loss of a close parent and the subsequent challenges of caring for unappreciative relatives. Through candid anecdotes, the book reveals how Tanya navigated a difficult childhood, including being "ostracized at school." Ultimately, the story culminates in Tanya's realization of the necessity to prioritize her mental health, leading her to become a passionate advocate for mental well-being—a mission she perceives as divinely inspired.

What I liked most about this book was the author's critical analysis of her life at various points in the book. She categorically demonstrates the importance of taking care of her family. However, after reporting how the neglect and even ingratitude of her family members were hurting her, she had to do something. I can empathize with what happened to her, and I know several toxic relationships that arise, even between family members. Many lazy people behave in harmful ways. The author's detailed accounts show the need to prioritize one's mental health and that there is a difference between being altruistic and being stupid.

The book does not present any serious problems, but I advise the author to mention some scientific studies involving mental health. Adding photos from the author's life stages would also be interesting. The book's editing is superb, and I couldn't find a single grammatical error.

Overall, Your Mental Health is the Most Important Thing is a profound book with intriguing insights that can help many people. Although the author wrote the book as a catharsis, the work was outstanding. Since I didn't find any significant flaws worth mentioning, the book deserves 5 out of 5 stars.

Everyone should strive for mental health. However, this book is not your average self-help book. It focuses mainly on toxic and abusive family relationships and shows how people should not let ill-intentioned and ungrateful relatives ruin the lives of others. So, if you, the reader, are having serious problems with your family members and it is ruining your peace of mind, this book is definitely for you. The book does not contain any sexual content or profane words and can be read even by young adults.

I would love to read about Tanya's life and how she navigated a difficult childhood and what really led to head being an advocate for the importance of good mental well being.

I really want to read this book, because I want to know Tanya's life, because I also experienced something like Tanya, but I experienced it in an emotional form that made me afraid do something new.
