Opening with the journey toward her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, Wang discusses the medical community's own disagreement about labels and procedures for diagnosing those with mental illness, and then follows an arc that examines the manifestations of schizophrenia in her life. In essays that range from using fashion to present as high-functioning to the depths of a rare form of psychosis, and from the failures of the higher education system and the dangers of institutionalization to the complexity of compounding factors such as PTSD and Lyme disease, Wang's analytical eye, honed as a former lab researcher at Stanford, allows her to balance research with personal narrative. 538 Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 2380 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 600 10 Wang, Esmé Weijun|xMental health. 650 0 Schizophrenics|vBiography. 650 0 Schizophrenia|vCase studies. 655 7 Essays.|2lcgft 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/4246676 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=805a53c5- 2bb6-4070-b30d-bec06f1352cd&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/2390-1/ %7B805A53C5-2BB6-4070-B30D-BEC06F1352CD%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/2390-1/ %7B805A53C5-2BB6-4070-B30D-BEC06F1352CD%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
