While i want to say it’s a solid book about living with schizophrenia, the author’s internalised ableism makes several portions quite uncomfortable. as a schizophrenic who would be of the Too Visibly Ill category (per her divisions), i don’t have a lot of sympathy for the ‘struggles’ to appear better than folks like me.

would have been a more enjoyable book if the picture citations had been at the end, somewhat screenreader unfriendly

i couldn’t get past the remarkable audacity (or should i say caucasity) of the author to claim that people in the global south had no concept of disability, i guess he never bothered to look up how disability might be discussed in any language besides his own.

far too much graphic sexual discussion. why sexual intercourse exists is entirely irrelevant, why is it discussed so thoroughly and in such detail???
