U.S. News & World Report cites Schwartz-Mette in column on recommended depression books
U.S. News & World Report quoted Rebecca Schwartz-Mette, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Maine, in the column, “Mental health experts recommend their favorite depression books.” Schwartz-Mette suggested “The Disappearing Girl: Learning the Language of Teenage Depression,” by Dr. Lisa Machoian. “This is a good book for individuals interested in shedding more light on the teenage girl’s experience of depression,” said Schwartz-Mette, director of the Peer Relations Lab at UMaine. “It is educational but also instructive, giving good tips for how to help teen girls in particular prevent and combat depressive symptoms. It’s based in scientific research but written for a lay audience. Likely good for parents, educators or other concerned caregivers.”
