These evocative essays, by writers who either suffer from or have close family members diagnosed with mental illness or a developmental disorder, aim to break down the stigma that surrounds one of the most devastating of human tribulations. The writers recount their experiences with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, clinical depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. What does it feel like to be psychotic? What sorts of thoughts go through your mind while you are killing yourself? How does a mother go on after her schizophrenic son throws himself into an unfinished construction site? The anthology drills to the core of compassion and disappointment-transcending hope and sometimes finding beauty in insanity.With a foreword by physician and bestselling author Gabor Mat? MD, Hidden Lives gives readers a place to turn and communicates not despair but courage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49683087622384,"sku":"NEW1926972961","price":823.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/hidden-lives-coming-out-on-mental-illness","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
