Faithvand Schizophrenia

“I just wanted to say that in spite of my apparent ‘craziness’ the good Lord does look out for His own.”

Writer Paterson has assembled a collection of personal vignettes that illustrate his struggles with mental illness and his continued, deeply rooted faith in God and Jesus Christ. By age eight, he became aware of his affliction—schizophrenia—but suspects it may have been with him from birth. Once diagnosed, he began to perceive more clearly the ways in which the illness affected him. Schizophrenia is considered a severe mental handicap, and those with it as a possible danger to themselves and others.
