Reddit mentions of Understanding Schizophrenia: A Practical Guide for Patients, Families, and Health Care Professionals

I’m real big into reading, I feel like the more you know about your brain the easier it is to battle. I have a few good books that I’ve read that might be able to help.

This book is about SZ, not SZA but I have SZA and I found it extremely informative for the positive and negative symptoms. It’s hard to find books on sccuizoaffective so I ended up reading books on SZ, bipolar and depression and just kinda mashing the information together. The kindle version is cheaper than the physical copy: https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Schizophrenia-Practical-Patients-Professionals/dp/1440831505/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=271OTT20AOESF&keywords=schizophrenia+books&qid=1554948320&s=gateway&sprefix=schizophren&sr=8-13

This is the book I bought for my family to pass around after they finally understood that it was a real thing. They all enjoyed it and said it made things easier to understand: https://www.amazon.com/Schizoaffective-Disorder-Simplified-Martine-Daniel/dp/1849915121/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2SBF34QLMYD7&keywords=schizoaffective+disorder+books&qid=1554948451&s=gateway&sprefix=schizoaffec&sr=8-3

Those are my two favorites, I’m sure other folks on here have good suggestions too. If you need anything else or just someone to vent to feel free to PM me, diagnosis is hard but it’s a really good step in the recovery process. Once it has a name it’s easier to understand :)
