| Book Description | In this powerful memoir, 20-Time Oxford University Medical Journals Contributor, McLean Hospital Harvard Resident doctor teacher, and Good Men's Project Columnist Steve Colori courageously articulates his experience of facing and overcoming schizoaffective disorder. His personal narrative gives readers insight into the true nature of the illness, providing a lucid description of symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, OCD, suicidal thoughts, bipolar disorder, mania, insomnia, family issues, and social dysfunction. Colori explains how he worked through all these symptoms and resolved them. He tells the reader why, at one point, he decided to stop taking medication; and shows why he later changed his mind and permanently resumed taking medication. The book also details a number of therapies that Colori utilized to overcome the disorder-such as talk therapy, journaling, and exposure therapy- which eventually enabled him to advance far beyond recovery.Steve Colori currently works at McLean Hospital as a Peer Specialist.
