Like a lot of anthologies, this one is a mixed bag. A lot of essays go with the peppy inspirational route of "theses were my textbook mental illness symptoms, but with the help of medication/therapy/yoga I got better and so can you!" but a lot of them are more introspective or nuanced. Not every essay is going to be for everyone but a reader who finds the book concept intriguing will probably find at least one essay that resonates.
