Easy to understand, explains things very well
Raises awareness about mental illnesses
Interacts with her audience
If you're looking for mental health related content, she's your gal.
Honestly, her and Kati Morton are my top favorite youtubers. Tracey has taught me a tremendous amount of things.
Her videos are pleasant to listen to, she's very descriptive, she explains things well, she treats her audience respectfully, she gives out advice for free by answering questions. That woman is an angel.

Heartwarming, hilarious and bittersweet
Graeme Simsion's protagonist is utterly brilliant, a good look at some of the social anxieties faced by people on the autism spectrum. While some were a little blatantly obvious - repetition and empathy - others were hidden by quirky mannerisms expressed by awkward geneticist Don Tillman. Good at raising awareness on the subject, it makes it understandable to those who have not come across those with these symptoms.
The plot is intriguing right to the end, a mystery wrapped up in a romcom.

It's engaging (1 more)
As a show - without the b.s. of pretending they care about suicide prevention, it is actually quite good
Mixed feelings about it
As someone who has struggled with suicidal thoughts for over a decade, I cannot say that this show brings any kind of awareness. It is a show; nothing more, nothing less. Don't omit this as the holy grail of mental health advertising, because it isn't.
It is an interesting show with an interesting plot. Too many viewers, and those involved with production, felt the need to blow the meaning of '13 reasons why' out of proportion.
It is not going to shine a light on those in your family that want to take their own life. I would also argue it is not going to influence someone to take their own life.
Not everybody is the same, I know. But I was engaged until the very end, and the urge I have had to end my life was no greater and no lesser after having watched the show.

Informative but far too long
Listened on Audible.
While I loved the concept of raising awareness for dementia sufferers and how frustrating it can be to lose oneself, listening to this gave me a bit of a headache as it was far too long. This is definitely better as a book and not for Audible - you lose track of the Maud's meandering. And while it is based on the tragic circumstances of her sister's disappearance - I actually ended up losing focus over who she was actually talking about after a while. A good effort.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Deadly Outbreaks in Books
Aug 21, 2017
Important, interesting, freaky and even a little terrifying
A fascinating look into the Centre for Disease Control and their role in dealing with some serious but highly interesting, insane real life outbreaks. Each chapter discusses fatal cases which in itself can be turned into a film. From deadly ice cream, to an epidemic of newborns dying at a hospital - these are important cases that need addressing and for further public awareness. As vital as this book is, it's filled with scientific jargon and requires concentration. A great read.
