 Rating:  - Very helpfulWe found this book to be quite educational and overall very helpful. Having said that, in places it gives far more medical information than we could grasp / digest.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about Schizophrenia, it's possible origins, history, prognosis, treatments, and so much more. Rating:  - Survive Schizophreniaan excellant book for recognizing and understanding the disease. A must read for parents, family and friends. Rating: - Helpful InformationI found this helpful for understanding the basic information about schizophrenia and it had some useful chapters on signs to look for and treatments. It may be a little outdated with some of the new drugs that are coming out now, but overall its a good reference book to have. |
