Series Review: Teen Mental Health"Meditation is devoted to a specific wellness practice while its companion titles address mental-health issues. They cover basics such as definitions and signs and symptoms, balancing facts with case studies that will interest readers. Sidebars featuring "Myths & Facts" and "Ten Great Questions to Ask Your Therapist" will empower teens as they seek treatment. Numerous captioned color photos depict multiethnic models, dramatizing both negative behaviors, such as angry outbursts, and coping strategies, such as journaling or attending group therapy. These slim volumes are meaty enough to be teen-worthy."
