Schizophrenia

Recommended by the World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders this book has been described as "a goldmine of history and information" by a psychiatrist and as "a commendable book" by another psychiatrist. Written by an accomplished medical writer/journalist and family member, the book is designed to provide the reader with information on the causes, pathology, and best treatments for this debilitating disease. Considerable emphasis is placed on the problems of stigma both in society and from the medical profession and of our inadequate legislation that enables so many of the very sick to be denied proper treatment. Examples are given of countries that do have better legislation to ensure best treatment.
