About this listen

 An electrifying true story of one young woman's nightmarish descent into the hell of schizophrenia and her courageous battle to rejoin the real world, such is the story of Lori Schiller. Once she had it all - a loving family, devoted friends, intelligence, and opportunity. Then at age 15 she began to suffer from symptoms of schizophrenia, hearing voices that began to take over her life. At 23, she committed herself to a private mental institution and spent the next 7 years waging a war against the voices that urged her to kill her family, her doctor, herself. This account of a journey into and out of madness is at once gripping, heartening, and ultimately triumphant.©1994 Lori Schiller and Amanda Bennett, All Rights Reserved, Abridgment Approved by the Authors (P)16 9; 1994 Time Warner AudioBooks, A Time Warner Company, A Joint Venture of The Atlantic Group and Time Warner Trade Publishing Politicians Psychology Schizophrenia & Psychotic Disorders Women Mental Health Emotionally Gripping Heartfelt Schizophrenia Memoirs

Schizophrenia it's only an opinion.

We all hear voices it's perfectly normal. I am sure many are wrongly diagnosed. More should be done to heal patients without the use of medications which cause weight gain and obesity.

Terrible quality

The quality is absolutely terrible, sounds like it a recording of a tape. The story is an interesting account, but unfortunately the very poor quality of the recording makes it hard to listen to
