Betty’S Battle

This book is a true story about the author’s struggles with schizophrenia and depression. It tells how the author’s dreams were shattered because of her illness and how she later learned to live life to the fullest.

In this book, the author provides us with a window into the realm of schizophrenia, her sense of being controlled by voices, frightening hallucinations, and delusions. She recounts a life at times escalating into violence, lending to remorse and regret.

When she was first diagnosed with the illness, it was emphasized that this was an illness she would have to live with for the rest of her life. As of today, the author has no signs of schizophrenia or depression. She refers to her condition, “by the help and grace of God,” as being “well” and in “remission.”
