"Living With Madness: The Best Ever First-Person Account" is a chilling autobiography by Donald W. Carroll, who suffers from drug-resistant schizophrenia. Carroll, a former IT Engineer, Educator, and Musician, provides his gripping, first-hand account living in a daily battle with a voice in his mind that taunts, disparages, and argues with him relentlessly for hours. Carroll struggles with debilitating delusions, suicidal tendencies, and substance abuse which landed Carroll periodically in jail and in an asylum. With the latest drug treatments failing, Carroll has been left with nothing but his iron will to live a stable and productive life.
"Living With Madness..." is perhaps the best, first-hand account of living with schizophrenia. Donald W. Carroll is a former musician, computer engineer, teacher, and now author! He introduces us to his life ofchronic alcoholism, drug addiction, an erratic path through the U.S. Navy, menial jobs, lost loves, and the Occult. Just as Carroll begins to find his way to a meaningful career in the Information Technology field, his mind is invaded by the Being, an intrusive voice that teases and torments Carroll into a state of delusional madness.
This autobiography is a gripping and uncensored examination of a high-risk lifestyle that lands Carroll in and out of jobs, romances, jail, and mental institutions without any relief from the latest anti-psychotic treatments. This mental disorder affects about 1 in every 100 persons worldwide.
After more than 24 years of trial and tragedy, Carroll has finally managed a peaceful coexistence with his unchecked condition, while achieving a significant degree of success and happiness.
Donald Carroll writes this compelling autobiography to reach out to others currently suffering from schizophrenia, to offer hope for a productive life. This is the autobiography the Oxford Journals' Schizophrenia Bulletin couldn't wait to read!
