5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight 7 Oct 2012
By Ruth Mancini (Author of Swimming Upstream)
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A well-written and interesting first-hand account of the experience of psychosis for anyone interested in mental illness, whether lay person or professional. This is the best insight I have ever had into how easily the shift from normal or "shared" thinking can happen and how the mind can trick you into embellishing your own experiences, so that the line between what's real and what isn't becomes blurred. The way that Catherine tells her story creates a fabulous insight into how disordered thinking starts to develop. The book goes on to explore potential triggers for psychosis and includes interesting chapters on recognisable symptoms, ie pressure of speech, as a reference for professionals.

The fact that Catherine has been able to turn her own terrifying experience into a helpful aid for others is remarkable in itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars A factual but insightful read into psychosis 30 May 2012
By MiniPuce
Format:Kindle Edition
Cathy's book is a well-written insight into her personal experience of psychosis. She openly explains about her harrowing experience in an honest and open way and talks about what she thought and how she felt during her psychosis episodes. In addition to this she gives us an in-depth explanation of the various therapies, medications and meanings of psychosis which is backed up by factual information and referencing.

Although Cathy has written the book as a way to understand her condition and also to help others, it is a frightening account of what could potentially happen to anyone. Cathy's honest account of her own experience coupled with the more factual based chapters is a must for anyone who has experienced or is experiencing psychosis. The book is also useful for families and friends who may not know or understand how to help sufferers. The back of the book has contact details of various organisations and groups around the UK which could be beneficial to anyone who needs help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Psychosis through my eyes 4 May 2012
By Clare Scott
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a searingly honest account of Catherine's experience of psychosis, followed by a very professional analysis. I found this frightening and eye-opening to read. I feel I have a better understanding of what must be a devastating experience for those who suffer this. However, not only is Catherine a talented writer, she is also very funny - so some of the description made me laugh out loud
