That Was When People Started to Worry (Paperback)

Young women and mental illness

Nancy Tucker

Share this book

'This is mental illness. It is unexpected strength and unusual luck and an uninterrupted string of steps. Then the next wave comes. And while you wipe grit from your eyes and swipe blood from your knees, the smiling faces in the distance call out: Why do you keep falling over?! Just stand up!'

Conversations about mental health are increasing, but we still seldom hear what it's really like to suffer from mental illness.

Enter Nancy Tucker, author of the acclaimed eating disorder memoir, The Time In Between. Based on her interviews with young women aged 16–25, That Was When People Started to Worry weaves together experiences of mental illness into moving narratives, humorous anecdotes, and guidance as to how we can all be more empathetic towards those who suffer. Tucker offers an authentic impression of seven common mental illnesses: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, disordered eating, PTSD and borderline personality disorder. 

Giving a voice to those who often find it hard to speak themselves, Tucker presents a unique window into the day-to-day trials of living with an unwell mind. She pushes readers to reflect on how we think, talk about and treat mental illness in young women.



Nancy Tucker is currently reading Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, after working as an assistant psychologist in an NHS mental health service. Eventually, she hopes to train as a clinical psychologist. Her first book with Icon, The Time in Between: A Memoir of Hunger and Hope, was called ‘stylish and incisive’ by the Guardian, and was praised by Jacqueline Wilson, Psychologist and MIND.

🔵'A penetrating account of Cuban history … [an] extraordinary book'
MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT, US Secretary of State, 1997-2001

🔴'This is a splendid book, which narrates the tragedy of a Cuban, Oswaldo Payá, who dared to oppose Fidel Castro in communist Cuba, and paid dearly for it. David E. Hoffman's research is magnificent and his biography reads like a great novel' MARIO VARGAS LLOSA

⚪️The riveting biography of a dissident who defied Castro's dictatorship, and paid with his life.

#OswaldoPayá was seven years old when #FidelCastro seized power, promising to create a 'free, democratic, and just Cuba'. But Castro instead created an authoritarian regime and crushed all dissent.

The dream of democracy became Payá's life work. Sent to Castro's forced labour camps, he could not stay silent, and formed a pro-democracy movement. After receiving multiple death threats, Payá was killed in a suspicious car accident in 2012.

Democracy is in retreat all over the world. Oswaldo Payá showed how to fight for it. His battle was waged from the streets of Havana but carried universal truths.Pulitzer Prize-winner #DavidEHoffman, author of the acclaimed The Billion Dollar Spy, tells the compelling story of a courageous dissident in action.

About the author

David E. Hoffman is a contributing editor at The Washington Post, author of TheOligarchs (PublicAffairs, 2002), The Dead Hand (Icon, 2011), and The Billion Dollar Spy (Icon, 2017), and winner of a Pulitzer Prize. He lives with his wife in Maryland, USA.
