Surviving Schizophrenia
Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Patients, and Providers | E. Fuller Torrey
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
Since its first publication in 1983, Surviving Schizophrenia has become the standard reference book on the disease and has helped thousands of patients, their families and mental health professionals. In clear language, this much–praised and important book describes the nature, causes, symptoms, treatment and course of schizophrenia and also explores living with it from both the patient and the family's point of view. This new, completely updated fifth edition includes the latest research findings on what causes the disease as well as information about the newest drugs for treatment and answers to the questions most often asked by families, consumers and providers.

Found this book during the #NAMI Basics class yesterday in a footnote and quickly downloaded it to my Kindle. I thought I knew a lot about schizophrenia, but here I am 22 pages in and whoa! The most frightening thing about this disease is actually what people think it is, not what it is. #endthestigma

mandarchy It took me a year to read this, but it's a great reference, so I'm glad I bought it. If you or a loved one is diagnosed with schizophrenia, get the latest edition. NAMI uses this to support their work, and you can read why. 1y
