A Memoir of Schizophrenia

A new personal account of mental illness has been published. Elyn Saks’ The Center Cannot Hold chronicles the author’s experiences with schizophrenia throughout her lifetime. The book has been compared to books like Girl, Interrupted by Susannah Kaysen and An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison. The story starts with the beginnings of the illness present in her childhood and proceeds straight through to her eventual recovery.
