Book Review: A message of hope
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has lived with someone suffering from this illness can benefit from reading this, it is a privelige to be invited into the private world of this articulate and intelligent woman. I felt very moved and she recounts the struggles with her demons and her attempts to overcome without medication. Eventually reconciling with the need for medication and the psychoanalysis that she persistently sought. The message of hope is that, yes, with this
most dreadful of mental illness one can live a fulfilled life and take one's
place in the world. The insight into the feelings and thoughts during a psychotic breakdown will change forever how you attempt to be there for those who are close to you with this illness, like myself a mother of son with schizophrenia.
