Item Description
Silent Heroes: Courageous Families Living with Depression and Mental Illness is a tribute to author Maureen Focht's father and for all those living with or who have lived with mentally ill family members. At age 11, Maureen watched her mother change from a beautiful, loving person to an unrecognizable paranoid schizophrenic. In her book, she describes this process as well as her father's ultimate commitment to his wife, who remained ill for over 40 years.
Many, if not most, families have their own story about mental illness, addictions, or violence. All too often, they do not tell their stories. Due to the stigma and bias regarding mental illness, most people remain "silent heroes" as they make a painful emotional journey in coping with the mental disorder of loved ones.
Silent Heroes shares stories of heart-wrenching experiences as families like Maureen's face mental illness. The narratives describe living with schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. If you or someone you know is dealing with a family member's mental illness, this book may help as you navigate the healing process.
