Surviving Mental Illness will help break through the stigmas, stereotypes and fears that are associated with mental illness and with mood disorders in particular.  Katz writes with the experience of one who has been challenged by mental illness and with the confidence of one who has recovered from it. 

The author provides valuable information about mental illness which includes trustworthy treatment, workable medication, helpful organizations and a list of further references needed by anyone suffering from -- or dear to someone suffering from -- a psychological disorder.

Katz is refreshingly frank as she shares her own story and includes honestly her own moments of despair, as she grappled with recovery, as well as the complete joy that she felt as she made her way back to mental health.  She stresses the importance of staying with treatment and with medication and the fundamental role faith in God played in her recovery.

So important has that faith been to the author that her recovery has exceeded the bounds of her mental health itself and has led of recovery in ways that she herself could not have imagined.

"Life is having faith to overcome any obstacles," Katz writes, "and that is what my recovery from mental illness is all about."  Her remarkable story will help others find a life of health and happiness.

Surviving Mental Illness is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.

Linda Naomi Katz lives in Flushing, New York.  Surviving Mental Illness is her first book.
