Publisher's Synopsis
This is the biography of a young man who falls into an abyss of alcohol and drug addiction, complicated by unrecognized and undiagnosed mental disorders that take over the control of his life. It is also a story of a mother's heartbreak, who tries everything to influence her son to a road of healthy living, with no chance for success.
A truly gut wrenching saga to follow, but at the same time, it is a cautionary tale with a roadmap for parents to navigate if they find themselves questioning the unusual behavior of a child. Today there is no stigma attached to mental illness and its management is at the forefront of modern medicine. But recognizing and then treating mental illness will offer the best chance of a healthy future for any child.
