If something has shifted in your mind and you don't know where to turn, start here.
Maybe you've just been diagnosed, and the word itself feels heavier than what you're actually experiencing. Maybe you were told for years it was just anxiety or just stress, only to learn later that something more was going on. Maybe you're a mother, or want to be one, quietly afraid of what this diagnosis means for that dream.
This book was written for exactly that moment.
Psychosis and Schizophrenia Explained is a clear, compassionate guide written by a licensed clinical psychologist with two decades of experience treating psychosis and schizophrenia, speaking directly to the woman living with it, not to her caregivers, not through a single memoir's lens. Inside, you'll find:
You are not broken. You are not alone. And this book will help you build a life that is unmistakably, entirely your own.

- Real scripts for disclosure, dating, and relationships

- An honest, achievable picture of recovery, without false promises
You are not broken. You are not alone. And this book will help you build a life that is unmistakably, entirely your own.
