The first thing many people think of when they hear the word schizophrenia is of a violent criminal with two, or maybe even more personalities. They will probably imagine someone walking down the street talking to themselves, ready to strike out at a moment’s notice.


In fact, approximately one percent of the population are schizophrenics and very few of these have violent tendencies. They can, however, have psychotic episodes in which they experience hallucinations and delude themselves into believing something which could not possibly be real. These episodes can be terrifying to witness but are unlikely to involve any violence; they can be just as terrifying for the person suffering with schizophrenia.


Understanding the disorder will enable people to support those who suffer from the disorder and will instil compassion instead of fear. This book will help anyone to understand the symptoms and issues facing someone with schizophrenia and how they can be treated:


  • Learn what schizophrenia actually is. 

  • Discover the history of the disorder and the causes, as well as the early warning signs. 

  • Explore and understand the key traits which schizophrenics display. 

  • Understand the different types of schizophrenia and the treatment prospects for this disorder. 

  • Delve into the myth that Split personality or multiple personalities disorders are the same as schizophrenia and how he two disorders are related. 


Gain an insight into what psychosis is and how this relates to the schizophrenic.
Find out a range of useful tips to help someone suffering from schizophrenia and how best to support them and yourself.


Use this book to enlighten yourself and your friends; your understanding will enable you to offer compassion and support to a sufferer, instead of fear and anger. Just think how grateful you would be for that if it was you struggling with the effects of schizophrenia.

This is a great book for someone who thinks that they or someone that they are close to is suffering from schizophrenia. It is laid out in a easy to understand format and gives the reader all of the information needed to make their own assessments. I book a 4/5 star review because there were sufficient grammatical errors found in the text.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is sad to know someone with this disease that is why we need to know more about schizophrenia

One can actually get a good education about schizophrenia through this book. You don't see this type of book everywhere. And there are also people who does not want to talk about it. I want people to be aware as well that is why I'm putting on this review. This is not only for those people who have a family member or someone close who has schizophrenia but for everybody, for the general public's awareness -- because this illness should not be taken lightly.

There are so many typos and grammatical errors in this book, I wonder if it was ever edited or previewed by a publisher. I'm at a loss how to explain the reviewers who rated it as excellent. Did it provide good, factual and beneficial information? Perhaps. But the glaring mistakes mar its effectiveness. Future readers would benefit if these errors were corrected in newer editions.

I don’t understand well about schizophrenia and because of that I want to know better about it. I got a friend who suggested me this book so that I can understand few things about schizophrenia and I have this book now. This book shows the split personality and schizophrenia. The history is short but I learned things about schizophrenia a lot. I hope this book gave more examples and explanation in each chapter.
