This book is very insightful and uplifting. I came away from it feeling more educated on how to be more supportive and compassionate toward those managing a mental illness.

I would give it a 3.5. I liked the example stories; they illustrated each disorder well. I really did NOT care for the "How Can You Help Yourself?" sections. They really irked me. If I had schizophrenia, I probably would NOT be reading this book! The suggestions were really generic; after going on for six pages about how complicated treatment is, the authors would then make disingenuous suggestions. However, this book is a good reference to have on hand! It explains a lot of disorders in simple, I would give it a 3.5. I liked the example stories; they illustrated each disorder well.

good book, it's very clinical and has a lot of information. It is from an LDS perspective, but agree's that mental illness can't be prayed and fasted away, and although they agree that Priesthood blessings can ease anxiety, they display physical proof of the differences in the brain of many mental illness' good book, it's very clinical and has a lot of information.

This is a very good book to help you understand many different mental illnesses and how to help them. The beginning has religious helps from scriptures and talks from LDS apostles and prophets. This one is in my library to refer back to. I wish I had found this 12 years ago to help my husband with his depression!

Broad in scope (yay!) but not so muchin depth. A great addition to dispelling the myths and stigma of mental illness and understanding it from a gospel view point. Found some choice nuggets here. Recommended for everyone. Can be read all the way through or just used as a reference.

More of a source and reference book than a cover-to-cover read.

Good information about mental illness from an LDS perspective. More a reference book than a straight read; still, full of useful information.
