    What I learned? A Life Can Be Beautiful If You Let It
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2019*

I have a question: Was the author writing about herself? Was the author herself in fact Jane? The book gave me the six A's of Self-Help. I related so much to Jane's story. I want there to be a little bit more about Jane's life. I was able to grieve with her along the way. I went to college and graduate school with her. I was able to understand what she saw in Carol and was able to be sad when he left. I want more discussion about her true thoughts of her disease more than just her story. I followed the whole way through. I was uplifted, informed, and inspired at the end of the book. A good book insights emotions.

    A MUST READ for anyone with a family member with a diagnosis of Schizo-Affective Disorder.
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2016*

Got it today and I am half way through - can't put it down.This is a must read for anyone who knows someone with a diagnosis of Schizo-Affective Disorder.  It is dialog between a therapist and a patient, along with their unspoken thoughts. Patient is also sending her journal pages to the therapist to review.  My 30-year old son has Schizo-Affective Disorder, and I can relate to the parents feelings of frustration, confusion and self-blame.  The eye-opening part for me was the journal, since it describes the symptoms she is experiencing along with her thoughts at the time. You quickly see she is living a different reality than those around her.  It is heart wrenching to read her thoughts.  She is aware of, but has no control over, what is going on in her world.

    Helpful for those who want to put a 'face" to SZA
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2016*

I finished reading this book two months ago and still think about "Jane" the protagonist; I hope she's doing well and wonder what new things she has accomplished. This is because the book does such a great job of letting you get to know her--all the various facets of her personality, without judgment--that I almost think of her as a friend or long-lost pen pal. Dr. Dobbins narrative helps reduce fear of SZA and, especially. of people with this disorder. I don't know how many times I've quoted to people the statement Jane makes that we don't ostracise people with diabetes or other diseases of imbalance and yet we don't apply the same kindness and compassion to people with mental disorders that science is constantly discovering are at least partially the result of chemical imbalances.
