As someone with schizophrenia, this book has helped me understand myself. I also told my mother she could read it because she told me she wants to help understand it. Beautifully written.

    • A must read if this is new to you
Format: Paperback
The chapters are easy to pick and choose incase your in a hurry. I did Audio books also. There is a lot of info to take in but the author makes it easy to understand. He gives lots of facts and studies which helps when you need to be an advocate for a loved one. Cause the Mental Health care in the USA is only helpful when you know what to ask for. This book helps you to know about the illness and the healthcare system. Not specifically for your state, because they are all different, but what helps the disease best. ... show more

I listened to this book on Audible. Loved it so much I wanted my hard copy to use as a reference guide for my whole family. It is packed full with information and is more positive and supportive. Totally worthwhile.

    • Detailed Information, Easy to Read
Format: Paperback
This book has been immensely helpful in understanding Schizophrenia through all aspects of the condition and any type of question you might have. I learned a lot and am able to break down a lot of stigma that I had previously towards this condition. The most recent edition is even better than the previous version, so buy new instead of a used older version if you can! Even if your loved one is undiagnosed but you think he/she may be schizophrenic, this is a book you should buy and read front to back. ... show more

I have loved this book so far. I have a family member recently diagnosed. Gives factual information and real statistics that help understand the potential outcomes in the future. Reads like a book not a dense medical text which I appreciate! A must have for anyone navigating this disease.

Format: Paperback
Schizophrenia is a very hard thing to discuss with others because they just don't understand it. This book was very helpful, because it gives you many different perspectives of the mental illness. I found symptoms I had and some I didn't. It very clear and concise. I would recommend this book to a family member before and actual person with schizophrenia. This will help articulate subjects that maybe hard to talk about. It's worth its weight in gold! Five stars ... show more
