How I deal with Schizophrenia.
Surrounded by white walls, a bed, and a locked door, this is another birthday just like the rest.

Reviews of: "How I deal with Schizophrenia."
:
This is a brief personal essay written in the first person as if the author were a 64 year-old schizophrenic patient. It is worthwhile and compelling for its believability, content and accuracy.

Fair to Good rendition of colloquial language.
