Around that episode she maps anxiety, depression, agoraphobia and dissociation as attractions in a park she cannot quite leave, paying close attention to how anxiety lives in the body as well as the mind. The drawings keep jokes and asides running alongside the hardest material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders who live with anxiety or depression, and people trying to understand someone who does, will find a personal account told with humor. It is one person's experience, not a treatment guide, and it promises no cure. Correll never finds the exit from the park. She finds ways to keep moving through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGemma Correll, an award-winning cartoonist and illustrator, has had her work published in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Elle and Forbes and featured by NPR.
