Summary

Embracing Schizophrenia is the story of Samantha Mercanti’s experience with schizophrenia. The story is light and positive, but at the same time shows the difficulties Samantha experienced, and continues to experience, in her recovery and her life.

Embracing Schizophrenia is a story of struggle, strength, resilience, and hope that opens a window onto mental illness and illuminates it, so we can all understand just a little bit better. The audiobook includes reflections from Samantha’s friends and family because she believes mental illness affects everyone - her experience not only affected her, but everyone around her. These contributions offer insight to those supporting someone experiencing mental illness.

Through her story, Samantha aims to bring hope to those in the midst of mental illness and to let everyone know that recovery is possible. Samantha now advocates for others who are experiencing mental illness, with the goal of ensuring that no one with a mental illness is ever forgotten. She hopes to educate and to eliminate the shadows that still hide mental illness - and let all those in the grips of such an illness know they too can recover.

Very interesting

I loved Samantha’s story and wish she talked more about her schizophrenia experience. I like how she mentioned God and her spirituality and loosing herself as I can relate.
