Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - Todas las esquizofrenias

Again, this book is very much like a memoir and so I choose to leave it un-rated, but I was fascinated by Wang’s experiences and really appreciated that she was willing to share them so publicly as to write them in a book. I do my best not to be ableist, but I know I have work to do, and that includes ableism around psychosis and the schizophrenias. Being invited into the mind of someone with schizoaffective disorder was an incredible opportunity for learning and growth.

This book is exactly what I needed as I've been exploring my diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. There's very little books available on it, even fewer in the autobiographical format were you're able to learn from people who actually have it instead of just a doctor who's emotionally removed from the situation.
