Product Description
Written with authority and compassion, this is the essential resource for individuals and families seeking expert guidance on diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, featuring inspiring, true stories from real people in their own words.
“After I was discharged from the hospital, I asked my doctor, ‘How do people cope?’” —Mary Ellen Copeland, Vermont
“I finally got to a therapist . . . it was such a relief to find out that the thing that I had been going through was not just an aspect of my personality, but in fact a treatable condition.” —John Moe, Minnesota
“You cannot tame it until you name it.” —Angelina Hudson, Texas
Millions of people in the United States are affected by mental illness every year, and the Covid-19 pandemic only further exposed the shortcomings of the American mental health system. Too many are confused, afraid, and overwhelmed, with many asking themselves the same questions: What does it mean when different doctors give me different diagnoses? What if my insurance won’t cover my treatment? Will I ever feel better? Families and friends are often left in the dark about how best to help their loved ones, from dealing with financial and logistical issues, to handling the emotional challenges of loving someone who is suffering.
You Are Not Alone is here to offer help. Written by Dr. Ken Duckworth with the wisdom of a psychiatrist and the vulnerability of a peer, this comprehensive guide centers the poignant lived experiences of over 125 individuals from across the country—real people like Mary Ellen, John, and Angelina—whose first-person stories illustrate the diversity of mental health journeys. This book also provides
•Practical guidance on dealing with a vast array of mental health conditions and navigating care
•Research-based evidence on what treatments and approaches work
•Insight and advice from renowned clinical experts and practitioners
This singular resource—the first book from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and with all sales proceeds going back to the NAMI community—is a powerful reminder that help is here, and you are never alone.
