Living With Paranoid Schizophrenia - The Insanity Machine: Coping Strategies & Mental Health Support for Daily Life

This book chronicles the lives of two accomplished people who received diagnoses of paranoid schizophrenia. Do you suffer, or does someone in your family suffer from this affliction? Maybe you’re a person who simply wishes to understand more about this life-altering condition.The Insanity Machine, by Kenna McKinnon and Austin Mardon, takes us through how these two people were diagnosed and, yet, made decent lives for themselves, despite the stigma and horror of such a malaise. It was no bed of roses and yet, with their determination—the type everyone afflicted will need—they were able to overcome these obstacles. They can now write about their lives, offering hope to others.This book is full of help for anyone who will but read. Medicines and therapies are discussed, and how they helped or didn’t. Helpful organizations are mentioned. Much of the information is well-documented. Most important is how we learn what these two people lived through once diagnosed; how they managed to create stability in both their physical lives and mental processes.I highly recommend this very personal and revealing history by McKinnon and Mardon. If you have any interest in schizophrenia, for any reason, one of the best ways to learn more is to read first-hand accounts of how others cope. Often reading about the experiences of how others cope, can save us from negative experiences we may personally encounter. If you have any curiosity about schizophrenia, get this book. Read it. Learn from it.
