The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays

A collection of essays about Esme Weijun Wang’s experience living with, among other illnesses, schizoaffective disorder. It’s rare to read about schizophrenia from someone who lives with it, rather than someone who treats or studies these conditions. Her take on the way that patients with schizophrenia are often left out of decisions about their own treatment (which often prioritizes the safety of those around them, rather than the patient herself), is certainly debatable, but is an invaluable perspective.

"This is truly eye opening. I never realized the negative consequences of, seemingly sensible, policies meant to protect people suffering from severe mental health issues and those around them."
