The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays [Wang, Esmé Weijun] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Collected Schizophrenias: Essays

Review: Profound, Eloquent, and Unflinchingly Honest - Esme Weijun Wang’s The Collected Schizophrenias is a remarkable and essential read. In this stunning collection of essays, Wang navigates the complex landscape of mental illness—specifically schizoaffective disorder—with breathtaking clarity and grace. The book is not just a memoir of illness, but a brilliant exploration of how we define sanity, identity, and credibility. Wang writes with an elegant, almost clinical precision that makes the difficult subject matter accessible without ever sacrificing its emotional weight. She dissects the experience of being labeled, hospitalized, and pathologized, challenging the reader to reconsider their own perceptions of "madness." What makes this book truly great is Wang’s ability to find beauty and structure within chaos. Her voice is powerful, vulnerable, and deeply intelligent. It is a vital work of literature that offers profound insight into the human experience and the messy, beautiful reality of living a "high-functioning" life while navigating a broken mind. Highly recommended for anyone seeking empathy, understanding, and brilliant prose.
Review: Mental Health Integrity at it’s Best - I was hoping as I read the Collected Schizophrenias (Italics) that I wouldn’t be triggered and I wasn’t and very much appreciated the straightforward and truthful explorations and research she did into her own illness. I felt that her self-care and approach to this illness was very responsible and insightful. Really related to the Cap De Gras Syndrome. I was immediately drawn to the book because of the title of one of the chapters “Yale Won’t Save You.” Ms. Wang is eloquent in her research and understanding of this illness and she covers a lot of the socio-political aspects of the illness and what it means to have this illness and be a student or having this illness and being able to hold a job. I was impressed 1.9k people read this book and reviewed it—a real achievement Ms. Wang. Congratulations on a responsible piece of literature. Author of Photography and Schizophrenia (italics), Jean Manthei, MA, LPC, CAS

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important Work on Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders
*by K***H on October 13, 2023*

I enjoyed most of this book. However, I think towards the end it really dragged out. There is a lot of fluff throughout the book as well. I also found it difficult to follow the book as there was a lack of flow from topic to topic. Despite this, I would say anyone who treats schizophrenia, or deals with schizophrenia personally should read this book. It provides excellent insight into the illness and gives a fully realized depiction of schizoaffective disorder from onset, to diagnosis, hospitalization, deterioration, medication management and therapy, and finally remission. I think the writer is very brave to tell her story with such detail and honesty. I would recommend.
