Mental illness is on the rise. It can affect people of any gender, age or background. When it strikes, it can be devastating, and it can be very difficult for families and friends to know what to do. Meanwhile, the sufferer can be completely oblivious to the pain and destruction they're causing. They'll push away the people who most sincerely want to help.The author's particular mental illness was brought on by the excessive use of cannabis. It seemed harmless enough at the time and he thought he knew the risks. Then came his first psychotic episode. His life nosedived from there. His physical health, close relationships and career all became ruins. He'd become one of the one in seven people severely mentally allergic to cannabis. Time heals all wounds, which was why patience was so vitally important in his recovery.This book is intended to give the reader an understanding of what it's like living with paranoid schizophrenia and aimed to inform and reassure families dealing with and recovering from the suffering of severe mental health issues.At a time when cannabis is becoming more and more accepted as harmless, this story becomes all the more relevant. It is written with both humour and intelligence.
