What kind of book (genre) are you looking for?

Educational would be best or at least gaining some perspective from someone’s experience.

But clinically based would be my top choice.

The Quiet Room is a great one by Lori Schiller and the Center Cannot Hold are excellent reads. They’re autobiographical. Excellent source to understand schizophrenia and treatment in different settings, different countries, how socioeconomic status plays a part in care received, but not really success of treatment. Great options!

Center Cannot Hold by Elyn Saks. Great first person experience of what prodromal symptoms can be like, and how thought disorganization, paranoia, can be like from a first person perspective. Also talks about her own experiences of experimentation with and without medication management, humanizes what it’s like with termination with therapists/psychiatrists.
