Ever questioned your sanity? Hated yourself so much that you wanted to end it all? Felt your life crippled by panic? Lost control over your own mind? This ground-breaking book addresses many peoples unspoken concerns about mental illness  and the associated stigma.

The authors demystify the psychiatric labels  presenting them as understandable responses that are experienced as a result of traumatic or difficult life situations. Their case studies  drawn from their clinical experience  vividly describe the journey into madness  clearly documenting what happens and what doesnt in states such as schizophrenia  mania  obsessive-compulsive disorder  depression and panic attacks. Their aim is to make madness understandable and inseparable from the experience of being human. This vital view firmly puts the life-force and soul back into the healing process where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924759543861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0717132838","price":101.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780717132836.jpg?v=1794140360","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/going-mad-understanding-mental-illness-9780717132836","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
