Description

On this powerful memoir, 15-time Oxford University Medical Journals Contributor, McLean Hospital Harvard Medical School Resident Doctors’ Lecturer, and Good Men’s Project Columnist Steve Colori courageously articulates his experience of facing and overcoming schizoaffective disorder. His personal narrative gives readers insight into the actual nature of the illness, providing a lucid description of symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, OCD, suicidal thoughts, bipolar disorder, mania, insomnia, circle of relatives issues, and social dysfunction. Colori explains how he worked through these types of symptoms and resolved them. He tells the reader why, at one point, he determined to stop taking medication; and shows why he later changed his mind and permanently resumed taking medication. The book also details various therapies that Colori utilized to conquer the disorder—such as talk therapy, journaling, and exposure therapy— which sooner or later enabled him to advance far beyond recovery. Steve Colori has published fifteen essays with Oxford Medical Journals; he has written for Mclean Hospital since 2011; he has a column with The Good Men’s Project of their Health and Wellness Section titled “Steve Colori Talks Mental Health”. Steve has lectured Mclean’s Harvard Resident Doctors quarterly since 2012; he lectures at Simmons College Graduate School of Social Work; he has lectured at NAMI GBCAN Boston; he has lectured for NAMI Reads within the Greater Chicago Area; and he has also lectured at Mass General Hospital’s “Schizophrenia Day”.
