Bev Aisbett

"If you're experiencing anxiety, hang in there. Help is on the way. It may all seem terrible just now because you THINK it is but actually nothing bad is happening. It just seems that way right now."

In 1991 Bev Aisbett launched a full-time freelance career in cartooning and illustration. Around this time, Bev experienced an ordeal commonly known as anxiety disorder. Out of this experience she developed the character 'IT' which led to the successful publication of Living With IT, Living IT Up and Letting IT Go. Bev has also published Get Real, dealing with body image and eating disorders and in 2000 the successful Taming the Black Dog: A Guide to Depression.
