Reviews
"These stories tell of experiences that all of us diagnosed with schizophrenia can relate to, so we don't feel so alone. And the more people know about their illness, the easier it is to cope with the symptoms and the more willing they will be to accept treatment, including medication. I wish I had this book when I first got sick." -- Tina, outpatient, "As a parent watching the process of this illness unfold, I felt confused, fearful, isolated and totally helpless. This book helped dispel those feelings and left in their place a better understanding of the illness and what my child was experiencing. For those whose lives are touched by schizophrenia, this book will bring understanding and more. It is like no other book I've read on the illness to date. Thank you to those in this book whose courage in telling their stories is almost unimaginable." -- Connie Crespin, "Far easier to understand than the classic title for schizophrenics and their families." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
A unique book written by and for patients with schizophrenia, with contributions by psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, and psychiatric rehabilitation workers. Diagnosis: Schizophrenia is intended to develop and strengthen the understanding of this disease, and to offer tools for patients, their families, and those who provide treatment. Chapters 1 through 15 contain personal stories of patients with schizophrenia, detailing their personal experiences with the first onset of the disease and coping with symptoms. Other chapters provide information on medication, social services, and rehabilitation services., The disease is not fatal but few diagnoses have the capacity to instill as much fear in the hearts of patients and families. Here is a profoundly reassuring book that shows there can be life after a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The book includes thirty-five first-person accounts, along with chapters by professionals on a wide range of issues from hospitalization to rehabilitation. Jargon-free and technically accurate, the chapters are short and offer up-to-date information on medication, coping skills, social services, clinical research, and much more. Patients and their families can read the book from cover to cover or skip around and select topics as the need arises.
