Download or read book InSanity written by Robyn Engel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I don''t think I''m insane. I don''t want to be. Am I merely in denial of my insanity? As we know, denial is its own form of insanity. So, I''m insane for believing that I''m sane and not insane. Right? If you''re confirming my insanity and you''re insane too, can we be normal together? Because if you''re sane but I''m insane, I don''t want your company. And if you''re insane but I''m sane, feel free to drop by whenever I''m bored. You entertain me. Don''t stick around too long, though. You exhaust me." -from page 61 of Robyn Alana Engel''s InSanity From the author of International Award-Winning memoir, Woman on the Verge of Paradise, InSanity delivers another hearty dose of sweet love, painful heartache, and all the feels for which-as Engel admits-words don''t suffice. Robyn Engel explores the toughest of issues--suicide loss, psychosis, overwhelming guilt and ultimately, self forgiveness. Readers are also privy to many a weirdly hysterical dating scenario, workplace toxicity, and bizarre life events that most people have experienced--e.g., the unbalanced therapist who needs help, the obnoxious neighbor who has no life except to closely monitor your postal deliveries, the suitor who brings their beloved pet on every date, people who talk far too much about that which you never wanted to feign interest--not even in your sleep. Coauthor of the Award-Winning novel, Dead and Moaning in Las Vegas, Bryan Pedas states: "It''s a mad, mad world out there, and Robyn Engel does a brilliant job of breaking down all of the quirky, too ridiculous to make up insanities of everyday life with both kindness and laughter." This author''s described as a "wonderful author with a delightful colloquial style." Thus readers are hard pressed to put this book down once they''ve begun. "She writes like Stephen King," says author-reviewer Ken Lynch. "This one really sunk its teeth in me." "Engel''s wicked humor makes for a page turner filled with colorful observations of therapists (she is one herself), relationship conundrums as a single woman, clergy, religion, politics and troublesome neighbors. Although her comments are often tart, her essential vulnerability and courage shine through." -Silona Lynne Reyman, PhD, Author of Musings of a Ghost Mother. "It''s her best book yet," Reyman adds. InSanity takes the reader on a refreshingly intimate search for the line between "sanity" and "insanity." You''ll shadow a sassy seductress as she muses the difference between these concepts. Is there a difference? Is this a worthy venture? Why does society place these labels on members of the human family? Is love a cure all? (Hint: It''s not, but it helps.) "Engel poured her heart and soul into this book." The author''s bold perspective and furious heart, mixed with an intoxicating writing style, keep readers from putting the book aside. She''s sharp tongued and petty at times, and she owns this. Robyn''s level of self awareness has been likened to the ghost of George Carlin dancing naked, alone and in front of huge mirrors. Join Robyn in confronting the everyday madness we all face. Ultimately, with her you''ll ultimately encounter a glorious trifecta: human grit, benevolence, and one man who isn''t weird. Well, he doesn''t seem weird. Not yet anyway. She can''t find red or pink flags. Might JT change her narrative? He''s nice, and perhaps kindness matters most of all. In fact, maybe kindness is all that matters. At any rate, Robyn takes care of her readers and provides plenty of reason for hope, self forgiveness, and optimism. "Crazy," after-all, can be a really good state of mind. "If you are after sunshine and roses, this book is NOT for you. If you can cope with suicide, pain, grief, frustration and anger with a generous helping of laughter and hope, come along for a dramatic, no holds barred ride..." --Sue Goldberg, Blogger, Elephant''s Child

Book Synopsis Infectious Madness by : Harriet A. Washington
Download or read book Infectious Madness written by Harriet A. Washington and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the connection between germs and mental illness, and how we can protect ourselves. Is it possible to catch autism or OCD the same way we catch the flu? Can a child's contact with cat litter lead to schizophrenia? In her eye-opening new book, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author Harriet Washington reveals that we can in fact "catch" mental illness. In Infectious Madness, Washington presents the new germ theory, which posits not only that many instances of Alzheimer's, OCD, and schizophrenia are caused by viruses, prions, and bacteria, but also that with antibiotics, vaccinations, and other strategies, these cases can be easily prevented or treated. Packed with cutting-edge research and tantalizing mysteries, Infectious Madness is rich in science, characters, and practical advice on how to protect yourself and your children from exposure to infectious threats that could sabotage your mental and physical health.

Book Synopsis Mental Traveler by : W. J. T. Mitchell
Download or read book Mental Traveler written by W. J. T. Mitchell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a parent make sense of a child’s severe mental illness? How does a father meet the daily challenges of caring for his gifted but delusional son, while seeking to overcome the stigma of madness and the limits of psychiatry? W. J. T. Mitchell’s memoir tells the story—at once representative and unique—of one family’s encounter with mental illness and bears witness to the life of the talented young man who was his son. Gabriel Mitchell was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age twenty-one and died by suicide eighteen years later. He left behind a remarkable archive of creative work and a father determined to honor his son’s attempts to conquer his own illness. Before his death, Gabe had been working on a film that would show madness from inside and out, as media stereotype and spectacle, symptom and stigma, malady and minority status, disability and gateway to insight. He was convinced that madness is an extreme form of subjective experience that we all endure at some point in our lives, whether in moments of ecstasy or melancholy, or in the enduring trauma of a broken heart. Gabe’s declared ambition was to transform schizophrenia from a death sentence to a learning experience, and madness from a curse to a critical perspective. Shot through with love and pain, Mental Traveler shows how Gabe drew his father into his quest for enlightenment within madness. It is a book that will touch anyone struggling to cope with mental illness, and especially for parents and caregivers of those caught in its grasp.
