This book gives us the rare and meaningful insight that is not often found in the world of psychiatry and mental health, an area that, even today, a large proportion of society still associates with stigma and shame. This book is invaluable in that it presents a patient’s perspective to the reader, shedding new light on the amount of suffering a mental illness such as schizophrenia can cause. We are taken on a journey of the life of this man right from his earliest school days till present. We read and learn about the author as a young boy, a student, and as a young man when the first symptoms of his illness began to manifest. We then follow the whole course of the author’s struggle with his illness and recovery. Throughout the entire course of the narrative, the author does a brilliant job of explaining the thoughts, the experiences, and the struggle he experienced as a victim of mental illness in such a way that the reader is unable to read without empathizing and question how it would feel if their own mind were to turn against them in such a way.
