A must read. Very specific and helpful.September 2, 2008 Concerned Parent(New England) It was as if the author had spent the last several years watching our lives and was coaching from the sidelines. A must read for those in the same situation.
What Happens when Doctors Diagnose is WRONGSeptember 13, 2007 P.M.(Utah, United States) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The book is good. After seeing 2 other specialist and as time has gone by, we have been fortunate to realize that initial diagnosis was wrong. Please NEVER stay with one single opinion in cases like this. I felt like I died for a month after hearing the first diagnose. It was wrong.I will neither get those days back nor erase the pain and stress it caused at the time. It is over and that is a ggod thing. Get a second, third, forth opinion. God Bless.
an excellent book...January 10, 2007 B. Smith(Californina) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is probably the best book available for the family members of someone with a mental illness. It includes comprehensive information and practical suggestions for coping with a severe mental illness in a loved one. Highly recommended!
