Please consider signing up on my substack for just $8 per month to get digital access to my two most impactful books on mental health and to keep receiving podcasts and blog posts about schizophrenia
These books are the real deal when it comes to understanding the mind of a person with schizoaffective disorder and anxiety who has faced numerous hospitalizations bu has been in full recovery for over 20 years. Along with my other memoir, Alert and Oriented x3, these books were licensed to the Canadian Psychosocial Rehabilitation Library as a valid resource for mental health professionals. Look below for the personal endorsement of the CEO of the Schizophrenia Society of Canada, Dr. Chris Sommerville.
Leif Gregersen provides up-close, first hand insight into the world of schizophrenia. Known as potentially the most devastating mental illness accompanied by horrible societal stigma, misunderstandings, misconceptions, and especially mis-characterizations of those living with and recovering from schizophrenia, Mr. Gregersen humanizes this illness by his own lived experience. Most importantly, we see a person, not just a diagnosis. We see his identity as he tells his story. His identity is not rooted in symptoms and pathology but in purpose, meaning, and how he wishes to help others to become more compassionately present with those with mental health challenges and their family members and friends. This whole process or journey is now called, “recovery.” Recovery is living beyond the limitation of a mental illness with meaning, purpose, a sense of identity and resiliency, social inclusion. Mr. Gregersen lives a life of recovery.
