Taking Control of Schizophrenia: My Story

By Stewart Lightstone

Your life should always go forward. Therefore, your life’s journey should be one that propels you forward, but what if it doesn’t? Quite often, those with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses have a rough path, a path strewn with tangled roots. In Taking Control of Schizophrenia, author Stewart (Andy) Lighthouse addresses common concerns to enable individuals to take control of schizophrenia and other mental illnesses.

Based on the author’s personal story and his work in mental health, this guide discusses an array of topics, including managing one’s medications, dealing with medication side effects, anger control, peace of mind, mind control, the concept of “thought process disorder,” adapting to life after hospitalization, and dealing with many other challenges often associated with schizophrenia.

With a host of resources and tips included, Taking Control of Schizophrenia offers keen insight into living with a mental illness every day. It helps both individuals and their caregivers understand and manage their well-being.
