## Description

The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness : Saks, Elyn R.: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Brilliant! - Can’t believe I just read this book in 2 days and it’s been in my Kindle e-reader unread for years.
Review: A fascinating story, told candidly, with warmth and humour. - I am close to someone with schizophrenia, and this book has helped me to see it more clearly from the inside, as well as the outside. This personal story gives understanding, as well as the knowledge that is to be found in technical books. I think people like me who are close to someone would find the book very valuable. People with schizophrenia might also find that it's enlightening and encouraging, while being starkly realistic. For people who have never come across schizophrenia, it will be an eye-opener.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ After reading The Center Cannot Hold...
*by L***. on 6 November 2016*

From my experience, books written on the subject of Schizophrenia are well worth reading. I have suffered for ten years with the illness and so was on the search for a book that could be helpful to me. Elyn R. Saks manages to cover the beginnings and ongoing suffering in such a professional manner that this book crosses into the arena of the best seller. It is insightful, simply told and at times totally shocking. I consider this to be the best and most useful books on the subject and would recommend it to anyone who would be interested in a seriously good read.
