Schizophrenia. Truth and Myths About the Most Ambiguous Mental Illness

What do we know about schizophrenia? How much have we read or listened to? Do we really understand this complex and often contradictory diagnosis? In this book, Nathan Filer, a qualified mental health nurse and holder of several literary awards, will guide us through the corridors and offices of psychiatry as both theory and practice. The reader is invited to meet leading world experts and some extraordinary individuals who will tell their stories - authentic, unembellished - about what it's like to live with this strange and not entirely understood illness.
