What I really appreciated about Ali Bierman's book "Mental Illness: Consequences when the brain misfires" was that Ali is absolutely qualified, by formal education and life experience to be writing on this topic.The fact that she speaks from experience and a vast amount of knowledge validates this book as a must-read for anyone suffering from mental illness. It is also an extremely beneficial read for anyone interested in understanding and helping family or friends that suffer from mental illness.Bierman addresses what mental illness is, provides a view of mental illness from a psychotherapists standpoint, explains the effects of mental illness on a family and how mental illness impacts a community, and she provides hope for readers that mental illness is preventable and reversible.To me, Biermans writing style is down-to-earth and involves a very honest reflection of her personal experience. I believe that she sincerely offers information, advice, warning and truth from a very knowledgeable, well-informed compassionate perspective.Excellent, informative book!
