Another Great Read

Against Medical Advice: A True Story by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A true story by James Patterson about a family and their struggle with their son's mental illness, their battle to find a doctor who understood it, the right medication combination and the torture his peers put him through. This is another book that should be read by teachers and administrators of school systems if they really want to understand what the "odd" kid is feeling. Those children that you think are misbaving are not always misbaving, they may have a real problem. This is written as a story and therefore is a really easy read. I would highly reccomend this if you want an insight into a families struggle with a mental illness.
