註釋My Story: A first Hand Account of Schizophrenia from a Young Asians Perspective: For over the last twenty years, the author has suffered from schizophrenia, going in and out of the hospital for weeks or even months at a time. My Story: A first Hand Account of Schizophrenia from a Young Asians gives extraordinary insight into the logic (and life) of a schizophrenic. The author illuminates their loss of identity, their sense of being controlled from the outside, and their relationship to the sometimes terrifying hallucinations. Painful recollections of moments of humiliation inflicted by thoughtless medical professionals are juxtaposed with the authors own understanding of how such patients are outwardly irrational and often violent. The author paints a surreal world―sometimes full of terror and sometimes of beauty. When the author was diagnosed with the mental illness, it was emphasized that this was a lifelong disease, and that they would have to live with it for the rest of her life. Today, however, the author calls themselves a "former schizophrenic," has continued taking medication for the illness, and currently works as a full time writer. The author though sometimes critical of mental health care, ultimately attributes their slow journey back to health to the dedicated medical staff who took the time to talk to him and who saw her as a person simply diagnosed with an illness―not the illness incarnate. A powerful memoir for sufferers, their families, and the professionals who care for them.A Memoir of a Modern Day Psychiatric Hospital: The author worked in a psychiatric hospital for over 5 years, this book contains the fun and interesting journey the author went on whilst working there; from the fascinating patients and to the 'amazing 'and 'not so amazing' staff. Everything is here, how the ward worked and the lives of the patients and staff are laid bare in an eye opening and revealing insight that the author hopes is honest, candid, but does not paint the workers and patients in an unflattering light. Read and be amazed about the journey the workers and the patients are on in this amazing reveal all book.
