Sheila's Book: A Shared Journey through 'Madness'

edited and part-authored by Sheila Harvey

Sheila's Book is a unique account of one person’s journey through a psychotic episode, containing chapters written by Sheila, members of her immediate family, friends, and the professionals involved in her care.

This book gives insight into the experiences of both those living with mental illness and those that are living and working with them at the time of their illness.
