Schizophrenia and Suicide: Finding Hope, Meaning, and Direction

In Schizophrenia and Suicide: Finding Hope, Meaning, and Direction, the author shares how, as a person with schizophrenia, the thought of suicide, for her, and also for others with this disease, can be a constant threat to their well-being. In this book she explores the topic of survival for people who have a mental illness, for whom self-destruction through suicide is all too common in the age of medicines, psychotherapies, and peer counselling. In addition, what role do faith communities play in counteracting this affliction and what are the responsibilities of the mentally ill, themselves, in choosing life over death by finding real meaning for their lives?
