This isn't a "poor me" or "my miserable life with SZA" book.,
By
This review is from: Schizoaffective: A Happier and Healthier Life (Paperback)
This isn't a "poor me" or "my miserable life with SZA" book. I am really glad I bought and read this book. There are too many "poor me" books out there and people really don't need to read them and feel more down and out. I plan to give some these books to a friend or two.
I am so glad I read this book. I wish it was available to me when I was twelve years old. I am now 48 years old now. And with all my years of Hospitalizations and Doctors Visits I have had to learn through hard knocks the information which is contained in this book. It does not matter if you have just been diagnosed or that you have had your Schizoaffective Disorder or other Mental Illness for a number of years. I can say that this book is good for the patient as well as for parents and caregivers; that need help and understanding on how to best help themselves or there love ones so they can receive the correct treatments. And live a very happy and peaceful life without worry or fear.

From a Nurse Educator's Perspective,
By BLH "nursing educator" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Schizoaffective: A Happier and Healthier Life (Paperback)
I plan to require this book for students in my nursing class next semester. It offers excellent insight for anyone trying to cope with mental illness, their physicians, families, and hospitals. Very clearly written with some excellent advice. I think this will increase understanding for not only patients but for all those who work with them. An excellent book!

Schizoaffective- A Happier and Healthier Life
This is a super book. I sure wish that i had this when i was first DX with SZA. It would of been a Godsend. It should be in every Pdocs waiting room. And given free with the first psych medication presciption. It would save a lot of patients from needless worry,anxiety and grief. While setting them on to the path of recovery right from the get go. I highly recommend this practical and easy to read manual on mental wellness. littledog
