DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn his early twenties, Nick Griemsmann was diagnosed with an "incurable" mental illness called schizophrenia. After being told by numerous people (doctors, counselors and case managers) in the public behavioral healthcare system that he was without hope for recovery, Nick started to pray and seek God for his healing. Defeating Mental Illness was written to encourage those that may be struggling with or know someone who is struggling with a mental health challenge. Inside, you will find some life changing steps that Nick did to help him to fully recover from "incurable" schizophrenia. In this book, Nick draws from his own experience of having overcome schizophrenia and also from the years of experience he had working as an administrator for the same behavioral healthcare provider that he used to receive mental health services from. Nick's style of writing is fun, encouraging and easy for people of all backgrounds and education levels to understand and enjoy. Rated PG-13.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDomestic violence can have crippling effects physically, mentally and emotionally to the victim. Some of the victims' experiences are horrifi c and traumatic resulting in mental illness, substance misuse and alcohol abuse. The hostility and anger that comes from the abuse has often led some victims to retaliate in ways that land them in prison or mental institutions. Margret is a victim of domestic violence herself and has worked with victims of abuse. She outlines how she survived domestic violence through learning that God is always available to listen, comfort, deliver and restore especially in diffi cult and lonely times. (Psalms 91)

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe causes of schizophrenia are many, including extreme stress, chemical imbalance, reaction to drugs, genetic predisposition, isolation, low self-esteem, and even a damaged or weakened aura (a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature viewed by mystics, spiritualists, and some practitioners of complementary medicine as the essence of the individual and allegedly discernible by people with special sensibilities). My personal onset of schizophrenia and depression at age forty-two was caused, I believe, by a combination of the above. Through the caring help of family, friends, medical doctors, healers, and my own insights and intuitions, I was able to become completely free of the symptoms of schizophrenia and all antipsychotic and antidepressant medications used to treat the illness. Most influential and important to my healing and recovery, however, was the utilization of both borrowed and original strategies that keep me healthy to this day. The sharing of these strategies, which include identifying ones gifts; relying on family members, friends, and caregivers; improving ones self-esteem; identifying ones authentic self; connecting with healers; being in gratitude; setting goals; and using positive affirmations for the purpose of recovering and maintaining positive mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health is the reason why I have written this book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSchizophrenia has long puzzled researchers in the fields of psychiatric medicine and anthropology. Why is it that the rates of developing schizophrenia—long the poster child for the biomedical model of psychiatric illness—are low in some countries and higher in others? And why do migrants to Western countries find that they are at higher risk for this disease after they arrive? T. M. Luhrmann and Jocelyn Marrow argue that the root causes of schizophrenia are not only biological, but also sociocultural. This book gives an intimate, personal account of those living with serious psychotic disorder in the United States, India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. It introduces the notion that social defeat—the physical or symbolic defeat of one person by another—is a core mechanism in the increased risk for psychotic illness. Furthermore, “care-as-usual” treatment as it occurs in the United States actually increases the likelihood of social defeat, while “care-as-usual” treatment in a country like India diminishes it.
