Schizophrenia Memoirs

In the 1950s, the field of psychiatry had nothing to show for itself. While polio was being cured, antibiotics were being discovered, and cancer research was developing, the mental health world had no wins. Asylums were full and nobody had figured out how to fix insanity—specifically schizophrenia, the severest mental illness. Scientists became convinced that if they could engineer a pill to create madness, then they could cure it.

This is a guide for anyone going into a mental asylum or institution for the first time, or if you have a delusional loved one, with a mental illness, this will help you relate to them better in understanding insanity. Now, join me, in the asylum, as together we go on a very odd journey of discovery in my first mental institution experience. Enter a strange world, before I was diagnosed with schizophrenia, as I compete against other game show contestants in a battle to win genetic traits for my family tree.

In this audiobook, we will dig into these truths and so much more as we dismantle the false teachings that keep believers in bondage and defeat. Primary among them is the idea that we still have a "sin nature", and it is our job to conquer sin and walk in holiness; a devastating lie from the enemy. We have been made new, and the sin nature has been crucified. We were sinners, and we were saved by grace, but we are not sinners any longer.

It was the spring of 1989. I was 16 years old, a junior in high school and an honors student.

Then came my mother's psychosis.

I will state that though listed as a memoir, this is for the most part a fiction book subject (epilepsy Zen). They say that Yin Zen questioning is talking to your higher consciousness; epilepsy Zen meditation is contemplating your navel or lower than your tanzen - doorway to the hara and hearing the giant ocean roar from within a fragile seashell and learning the Yang illuminating answer.
