Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, Stress and Stigmas: Self-Help - Coping

This book provides an overview of how I coped with my son's and daughter's schizophrenia, bi-polar, stress and stigmas. This is a compelling story of sheer determination and not giving up or giving in to the demands of mental illnesses. It tells about searching and finding new ways for me to cope as their mother and caregiver. My story has inspired many who are undergoing severe stresses and depression, someone who is caring for loved ones, or someone who may be losing hope that in the face of unfathomable challenges, there is hope for effectively coping with your loved one's illnesses. This book is for readers looking for positive, uplifting, success stories of mothers who are single-handedly caring for their mentally ill sons and daughters and may feel hopeless because they cannot cope. I chose to write this book to encourage parents who are struggling to care for their sick sons and daughters, never give up hoping that they too can successfully cope with the stresses, depression and stigmas that are caused by mental illness.
