Living with Mental Illness

Depression. Anxiety. Bipolar. Schizophrenia. Trichotillomania. These are just a few of the many mental disorders that affect millions worldwide. What really happens when you or a loved one is diagnosed with mental illness? What therapies work best? Can a cure be found? Will life ever return to normal?

In Living with Mental Illness, ordinary people who live with different mental illnesses invite readers inside their world and open up to give honest—and sometimes profound—answers to common questions. Confessing struggles, fears, and hopes, the collection of heartfelt stories offers firsthand insight into the diversity of mental illness from nonclinical perspectives, and highlights the unexpected ways ordinary people find strength, courage, and hope even when bound by societal stigma.
