Zibby chats with author Anastasia Zadeik about THE OTHER SIDE OF NOTHING, a riveting and redemptive portrayal of two suicidal young adults who meet in a psychiatric facility and escape on a cross-country journey—and their two mothers, who set out to find them. Anastasia emphasizes her intent to portray mental illness realistically, resisting the urge to sensationalize or simplify it. She shares that she drew from personal experiences, including her own struggles with depression and those of her family members, and then she and Zibby discuss the challenges faced by parents of children with mental health issues and the societal stigmas around them.
