Interesting read, S.p. I read the whole thing. I felt the author did a thorough job and represented the people she interviewed respectfully. That is seldom the case. Maybe it's because these people were never fully psychotic?
I thought it was interesting at the end, where the last woman finally improved after starting on a new anti-psychotic medication. The doctors think the med made the difference, but she doesn't. I see that with my son and me. I see a difference from meds. He seems to thinks that he's somehow managed to get control of his thoughts, and it's just a coincidence that happened when he was on medication.
