A Journey of Recovery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893159677)

A Journey of Recovery is a story about my life's experiences in not only adjusting to a mental illness--schizophrenia--but overcoming it. This story is a reflection of a bright young soul--me--whose illness ignited institutionalizations for many years. However, self-help, help from others, as well as help from professionals, have provided me with the tools of life to stay mentally healthy. Proper medication, as well as physical and mental forms of meditation, such as through exercise, is essential for dealing with a mental illness, as displayed in this story. This story is a reflection of individuals with mental illnesses who thrive in life after their time of healing, as I strongly feel that I am doing! Mental illnesses are quite serious, in which there are many trials and tribulations for finding the proper medication to treat mental illnesses in different individuals, as is portrayed in this story. This story proves that many innocent souls are placed in mental institutions, which can lead to jail if these mental illnesses remain improperly treated. Nonetheless, this story brings forth positive energy because it is an inspiration for all in regard to how all of humanity can defeat their inner physical and mental demons, as did I!
