"Scarlet, a psychologist and educator, teams up with Marvel and DC Comics artist Alves to take six (original) superheroes through simple techniques for coping with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other struggles associated with (though not limited to) adolescence. Scarlet was inspired by the immune system disorder she developed as a child after the Chernobyl disaster; in the U.S., she was bullied for being 'radioactive.' Here she outlines a program of exercises in 'acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)' and 'self-compassion' for a circle of crime fighters dealing with shame, anxiety, and behaviors like panic attacks and cutting. Though readers may find Scarlet's personal story the most absorbing part, the color illustrations on almost every other page do feature a cast of horned, leering 'monsters' and (led by the author herself as discussion leader) human figures of diverse age and race in dashing spandex garb. The conceit, along with some eye-catching art and a focus on setting simple, achievable daily goals, makes this a promising alternative to more conventional self-help programs."

It is intended for all ages and has been utilized to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain and chronic illness, substance abuse disorders, eating disorders, and other difficulties.

I would not be qualified to treat him if he came to see me, as I do not specialize in this disorder, I specialize in PTSD, depression, and anxiety, none of which he has. If I had to treat him for whatever reason, I would probably use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to try to teach him mindfulness skills, as well as to help him meet his values and goals in a less destructive way.

Lastly, cosplay can help young people build their social skills and make new friends from places that they normally may not. It brings people together from across social divides. Cosplay conventions and meetups offer opportunities to interact with others who share similar interests. This can be a great way to make new friends, and even network with others who may share similar career goals. The cosplay community is also generally accepting and welcoming, which can be a great way to build confidence and self-esteem.
