"Troubled Journey explores the nature of mental illness - especially schizophrenia, major depression, and manic depression - and provides family members with the tools to overcome the devastating effects on their lives." "Family members now eagerly seek help, instead of bearing the weight of problems related to mental illness alone. Troubled Journey is written specifically for this audience, as readers are led through the essential stages of recovery, from revisiting childhood to revising their family legacy, and ultimately to reclaiming their life."
