This book is a personal recollection of the schizophrenias, i.e., the diseases that were created to explain the phenomena of a recurrent cluster of symptoms. The narratives of the delusions, hallucinations, the comorbidity of schizophrenia with other psychiatric diseases is authentic and it resonates with experiences of psychosis recorded elsewhere. The author also points to new scientific and non-scientific directions of the analysis of the schizophrenias and their treatment. It's a short, but fantastic book, that makes the discussion of schizophrenias in mainstream less fantastical and more realistic, displaying the suffering that usually follows these diseases.
