A Road Back from Schizophrenia : A Memoir
by Arnhild Lauveng
A Road Back from Schizophrenia gives extraordinary insight into the logic (and life) of a schizophrenic. When she was diagnosed with the mental illness, it was emphasized that this was a congenital disease, and that she would have to live with it for the rest of her life. Lauveng, though sometimes critical of mental health care, ultimately attributes her slow journey back to health to the dedicated medical staff who took the time to talk to her and who saw her as a person simply diagnosed with an illness—not the illness incarnate.

by Tyler Page

Sometimes, he even does dangerous things--like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window. Tothe adults in his life, Tyler seems like a troublemaker.

"A Molecule Away from Madness offers a captivating, singular view of the human brain. Our brains are the most complex machines known to humankind, but they have an Achilles heel: The very molecules that allow us to exist can also sabotage our minds.
A neurologist regales readers with extraordinary stories of the brain under siege. Here are true accounts of unruly molecules and the diseases that form in their wake, from total loss of inhibitions to florid psychosis to compulsive lying. Cognitive neurologist Sara Manning Peskin demystifies the most curious neurological phenomena through the perspective of patients, researchers, and science."
