About this ebook
Mental illness can affect absolutely anybody, with its causes often mysterious and perplexing.
In this highly readable memoir, Greg Ralls charts his own formative life experiences from work-related fatigue, trauma and hearing ‘voices’ (thoughts) through to psychosis, a devastating diagnosis of schizophrenia, treatment, family support and recovery.
Making sense of a period of madness, this story shows how one might triumphantly emerge whole again following massive change and the ground-shaking disruption of being unwell.
This book is for readers with an interest in both the challenges of serious mental illness and the hope of mental health recovery.
