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 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-is a powerful reminder that help is here, and you are never alone." --publisher's website.
