　　Toad, the central character of Counselling for Toads: A Psychological Adventure, has not been as cheerful as usual for a while. He has lost interest in his usual hobbies and stopped having fun. He barely eats and has lost a lot of weight. Moreover, he has given up caring about his appearance, so his clothes look shabby and smell terrible.

　　Toad should be happy because he is rich and has a big house. His good friends, Rat, Mole, and Badger, have tried everything to restore his enthusiasm and humor. As a last resort, they advise Toad to seek help from a counselor named Heron.

　Heron listens patiently and learns that Toad often hides his true feelings and always pretends everything is fine when he feels worthless. Heron says Toad’s negative emotions are the result of the relationship he had with his father and his mother, who showed him very little love and affection. Heron diagnoses Toad with depression.

　　While accompanying Toad on his psychological journey, readers can learn how to face their own feelings and develop healthy minds. They may also discover new things about themselves and move confidently towards happier futures.
