Description

This very personal exploration of schizophrenia explores every stage, from the early signs and reactions from family and friends to in quest of help and the challenges of recovery. McLean bravely shares his paranoid delusions and offers both a verbal and a visual experience by including digital artwork he created to help objectify and keep an eye on his impulses and fears. As McLean relates his experiences step-by-step, issues of sexuality, identity, and drug abuse are discussed, in conjunction with the overarching issues in terms of mental health and the medical profession. Messages from online posters who either have suffered from mental illness or have cared for the mentally unwell are included right through, adding more perspectives to the writer’s personal experiences. This powerful combination of words and pictures provides a unique and poignant insight into a hidden, internal world.
