'Not a misery memoir but a story of courage and hope'
Dorothy Rowe, Clinical Psychologist and Writer
'This is clearly a most useful first person account of psychosis'
Professor Chris Frith, Institute of Neurology, University College,London
The story of my dysfunctional childhood and teenage depression, my abusive first marriage and experience of rape and domestic violence, my terrifying descent into psychosis, experience of electro-convulsive therapy, and my recovery. I wrote this book to help others as well as myself.
There is no specific genetic predisposition for psychosis.
"The phone rang and I screamed. I was filled with terror. My heart began to pound and I started to shake. In my confused mind I had become the deaf dumb and blind boy in "Tommy" a film that had captivated me many years before. I moved my limbs in a stilted and robotic way. I was no longer myself. I was in a different world, the world of psychosis. I was trapped and could not find my way out."
