Synopsis
This self-help manual is for sufferers of schizophrenia and their families. Taking a positive and practical approach, the book tells what schizophrenia is, the possible causes, what treatment is available, and what the social services can do to help. It explodes many of the myths about schizophrenia, for example, that a schizophrenic breakdown is permanent, that violence and aggression are common amongst sufferers, and that people diagnosed with the illness, suffer from a "split personality". Topics include the role of good communication in the family, the importance of a healthy lifestyle, stress and anxiety management, dealing with insomnia, knowing the sufferers rights, what treatment is like, and a description of the new non-drug approaches to sympton management. Advice is included on developing social skills and community care is emphasized.
