Review Quotes




"Mental illness among young people is epidemic. Too often, those who are afflicted are ashamed, too often, they isolate themselves, and too often the results are catastrophic. Frank, honest and informative, Behind Happy Faces will mitigate that shame and isolation, and so head off those dark results."

-Andrew Solomon

Author, The Nonday Demon An Atlas of Depression. Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity

"Behind Happy Faces removes the stigma surrounding mental disorders and stimulates dialogue about these issues among high school and college students. Szabo and Hall are dynamic advocates for young people everywhere."

Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D.

President, Child Mind Institute

"An inspirational read for all young adults as well as parents, teachers, family and friends, Behind Happy Faces provides tools for seeking help and gives hope for recovery. Ross is living proof that with treatment, young adults with mental health issues can be highly functional and lead fulfilling, productive lives."

-Tipper Gore

Photographer, Author and Mental Health Advocate

"Mental disorders are treatable and don't have to define one's life. Behind Happy Faces provides young people with an intimate glimpse into what it means to have an emotional disorder and empowers them to overcome the stugma to get the help they need."

-Donna Satow

Co-founder, The Jed Foundation

"Ross Szabo has a true gift for getting through and Behind Happy Faces allows him to communicate beyond the walls of a full school assembly. His book will most certainly reach you and it will help you reach others. If it is understanding and compassion you seek, look no further."

-Lizzie Simon

Author, Detour: My Bipolar Road Trip in 4-D

"Szabo's enthralling narrative draws its strength from the power of his personal story, and the honesty with which he and the other young people represented in the book challenge the myths and stereotypes surrounding mental illness. This powerful book deserves the widest possible audience."

-Gail Griffith

Author, Will's Choice A Suicidal Teen, a Desperate Mother, and a Chronicle of Recovery
