Such an interesting read on the history of Schizophrenia research intertwined with one family's battle with the illness and the mental health industry in America. Highly recommend even if non-fiction is not for you usually, it is mainly told through narrative!

This is a fascinating look at mental illness and schizophrenia based around a single family's experience - the author clearly did a lot of research, and it's truly informative. At times, it does feel a bit long/repetitive, but if you are interested in (and not triggered by) mental health it's a good nonfiction read.

Good read if you’re interested in the impacts of schizophrenia. It’s slow moving but each detail proves important.
