Over 51 million Americans suffer from mental and emotional disorders. Each year 29,000 commit suicide to escape their intense personal suffering. Ignorance lures us to believe that only a small number of people are affected and these unfortunate souls are crazy psycho killers who should be medicated and locked away for the good of society. The reality that most individuals struggling with mental illness walk among us undetected is the focus of this book. Jo Clancy provides an intimate and moving account of a desperate struggle for survival. Identifying the disguises worn by mentally ill individuals in frantic pursuit of "normalcy", she unveils the devastating consequences created by this behavior. Having struggled with and survived her sister's mental illness and suicide, Jo Clancy offers both personal and professional accounts of the tremendous emotional pain experienced by these individuals and the people who love them. Offering hope and encouragement she provides strategies for family recovery and social change. This book will make you laugh; it will also make you cry. Hopefully it will move you to action It is a must read for anyone who works with, loves, or is affected by mental and emotional disorders.
