The Clock in My Head Never Stops by Daniel Rush

A raw account of a teenage boy battling the relentless weight of anxiety, The Clock in My Head Never Stops by Daniel Rush is a relatable and detailed portrait of silent struggle. Readers follow Billy’s steps through a typical day of high school, where his unwanted and obsessive focus on time, expectations, potential disappointments, failures, or embarrassment goes beyond the typical worries of most teenagers, crossing into the realm of debilitating anxiety, despite how “normal” he might appear at first glance. An encouraging read for young people and adults who struggle with mental health and wellness, this book also provides insight for parents who may not recognize the conflicting emotions and stressors within their own children, for a compelling fictional work that can double as a work of self-help, or an informative guide for family and friends.
