Until I read this book, like many people I know, I believed many of the common myths and misconceptions about Schizophrenia.  For example, I believed that it was a hopeless mental disorder and one that pretty much prevented a sufferer from any sort of normal life.  Just the mention of the name of the disease was frightening to me.  The reason we purchased the book was to learn more about the disease.  A relative of one of our friends has the disorder, and we wanted to educate ourselves to some extent about how we could love and support our friends as they do the same for their loved one.I had no idea that 1 in 100 people suffer from Schizophrenia and many, with proper diagnosis and treatment, are able to lead full and normal lives. Anthony Wilkenson has managed to give me a positive outlook about this very common disorder.This book is not fluff, it is written in easy-to-understand language, and it gives hope to Schizophrenia sufferers and their loved ones.
