How I Conquered Schizophrenia

<p>The 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. </p> <p>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 one's gifts; relying on family members friends and caregivers; improving one's self-esteem; identifying one's 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.</p>
