A review by emilybolivia
The Collected Schizophrenias by Esmé Weijun Wang
informative
slow-paced
4.0
Ms Wang shares deeply personal stories from her lived experience alongside facts and figures about mental health diagnoses and treatments. I was overwhelmed by her bravery to share so openly and thankful for her efforts to break down stigma.
I think that this work could have benefited from better editing. Many of the essays jumped around a lot and I didn’t have a strong sense of what she was trying to convey. Others were much more effective, I think the best organized and executed was The Choice of Children.
