This prize-winning book provides schizophrenia sufferers and their carers with a source of information about the illness that is accessible, reliable, and comprehensive. By teaching you about the condition, 'Living with Schizophrenia' aims to alleviate any feelings of fear and isolation that you may have, and provide you with a realistic sense of hope and optimism. Simple and practical advice about day-to-day management enables you to take greater control over the illness, make the most of the services that are available to you, and ultimately improve your chances of once again leading a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life.
Schizophrenia is isolating and frightening for the people who have it and also for their families. This is a very gentle, straightforward book tackling a really difficult subject crying out for unbiased, compassionate but honest information. We particularly liked the advice on the psycho-social and legal aspects of mental health, which are often ignored. —Judges, MJA Open Book Awards
Though information on schizophrenia is freely available in the public domain, much of it is hard to find, unreliable, inconsistent, and, because of the uncontrolled nature of the internet, unnecessarily disheartening. Much of what is easily accessible is aimed at scientists and healthcare professionals rather than at schizophrenia sufferers and their carers, for whose benefit this book has been specially prepared. By leading them to a better understanding of the illness and its treatments, from medication to psychological and other therapies, and by guiding them through their day-to-day battles, it should serve as a giant first step on their journey to recovery. —Marjorie Wallace, Chief Executive, SANE
To sum up, a lot of information is contained in this concise book, which makes it a valuable reference, particularly for people confronted with a shocking diagnosis of schizophrenia for the first time. —The British Journal of Psychiatry
Dr Neel Burton is a psychiatrist who practices and teaches in Oxford, England.

Living with Schizophrenia edition by Neel Burton Health Fitness Dieting eBooks
Back in my home country, I have a relative living with schizophrenia. When she got sick, my family and I found it very difficult to relate to her, since we did not know how to act, how to react, what to believe, when to be alarmed and when not to engage. Because there was zero local literature on the subject, I decided to buy and study all the books available on Amazon at the time. Out of all, the previous edition of this book was by far the best. I got the current edition just to see the improvements. The language is clear and simple, nothing too academic, vague or useless, just to the point advice and useful information. Although it is not a large book, it covers all the important topics I've seen tackled in other books. It can be read by both the caretakers and by the persons suffering from schizophrenia. It explains the source of the problems, manifestations and proper strategies for managing life in such situations.Without exaggerating, this book helped dramatically improve my life, my family's life and, most importantly, it helped a person with schizophrenia live life as normal and good as possible in the given conditions. From my direct experience I am sure half of the recovery is medication, and the other half is learning how to interact with the family and close people, by both parties. I am sincerely grateful to Mr. Burton for writing this book. I would gladly recommend it to anyone, as I would recommend the rest of his psychology and philosophy books. I must admit I was so happy with the results of this book that I ordered everything else the man wrote.
