In this guide, I dive specifically into those topics, because they are at the core of what I consider to be the self-destructive loop that makes schizophrenia type disorders so difficult to recover from and horrifying to experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you're looking for a memoir, this book is not for you. \u003cb\u003eThis is an analysis of the experience and how to cope and thrive, not a narrative. \u003c\/b\u003eIt is written based on my own experience living with the disorder, but it is not a story. It is mental strategies and explanations, meant to help bring insight to schizophrenics and their loved ones.\u003cbr\u003eTopics covered include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stages of psychosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow my delusions form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe delusion-paranoia feedback loop and interaction with other symptoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe logic of delusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaking the cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePossible causes of schizophrenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is intended to give hope to the recently diagnosed and has been written to be an under an hour read to keep it accessible to people who may not be open to more long-winded advice books.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52735222677811,"sku":"9798329770438","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/CsCr05rRVL9798329770438.webp?v=1763978352","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-schizoaffectives-brief-guide-to-navigating-delusions-and-paranoia-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
