Living with Schizophrenia Audiobook (Free)

There’s a perception that schizophrenia is both uncommon and impossible to take care of. In fact, it affects about 650,000 people in the UK, 2.2 million in the US, plus some 50 million globally; and, the treatment success rate with today’s medication and therapy could be high. It impacts men and women in equivalent proportions, but frequently appears previously in males. Symptoms are often terrifying and include visible and auditory hallucinations and severe paranoia, which might leave sufferers withdrawn, and incomprehensible or terrifying to others.

• Authoritative description of what schizophrenia is and isn’t
