Could anyone suggest a non-fiction book that would be of interest to an
18-year-old boy to help him understand schizophrenia (paranoid)?

Thanks!

I read "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" by Hannah Green, at a young
age. It was fascinating but made me feel like "I" was right there with her!

How about The Eden Express by Mark Vonnegut? It's an excellent personal
narrative by Kurt Vonnegut's son about his own struggle with schizophrenia.

What about Sybil, by Flora Rheta Schreiber?

There's also a novel by Frank G. Slaughter called Daybreak.

Madeline, I am in the middle of a book, which might be helpful. Entitled The Outsider: A Journey into My Father's Struggle with Madness, by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer. After his father's death, Mr. Lachenmeyer tries to retrace his father's steps and to understand how a promising sociology professor and author descended into paranoid schizophrenia and becomes, for a short time, homeless. A gripping, heartrending read.

Sorry to take so long, but I searched my card catalog and up with some titles for you. I wasn't sure whether he wants info because a family member is developing schizophrenia or he is afraid he is. So I've listed a few titles of each

Simon, Clea. Mad house: growing up in the shadow of mentally ill sibilings. Doubleday, 1997

Alexander, Ken Understanding and coping with schizophrenia: 14 principles for the relative. Scwartz & Wilkinson, 1991

Hoffer, Abram How to live with schizophrenia Carol Pub, 1992

North, Carol Welcome, silence: my triumph over schizophrenia. Avon Books, 1989. [Very popular in my library].

I'm just processing Angel-head ; my brother's descent into madness by Greg Bottoms. This book is scary - it doesn't have a happy ending. The doctors don't find the meds that will control the symthoms of the disease. But it is a powerful story.
Let me know if I can be of further help.
