About the Author
Gwen Howe has written for professionals on schizophrenia, and now draws on her experience to offer a realistic and supportive view, to help everyone who wants a better understanding of serious mental illness.
Details:
Serious mental illness is the term which groups together schizophrenia and manic depression – conditions that can at times cause sufferers to lose touch with reality. Many people know very little about them, and are scared by sensational headlines that occasionally hit the media. So if you, or someone close to you, has a serious mental illness you need reliable, sensitive information and sources of help.
This book explains the crucial background information – to help you understand what happens, and make it easier to talk to doctors and other health care professionals. It explores the emotional impact that a breakdown can have on the family – on parents, partners and children – and gives valuable pointers on practical issues – getting the best from the system, coping in a crisis, legal matters, and meeting other practical needs.
