New Book Offers Hope to Those Affected by Mental Illness

First time author Caroline Anders examines the mind of a schizophrenic in Complete Surrender.

Arlington, Va. (PRWEB) December 20, 2007 -- Written by someone who suffers from schizophrenia, Complete Surrender, the new book by Caroline Anders depicts the trials and tribulations faced by people with mental illnesses.

In Complete Surrender, a young woman named Clara is trying to live a normal life with schizophrenia. Clara takes medication to control her symptoms, but as a result, she gains weight and loses the energy to be the active person she once was. She struggles to love herself, and soon is unable to handle the every day activities that most people do without a second thought. With a low self-esteem, Clara starts dating losers and accepting things she normally would not. Attempting to make a fresh start, she moves to a new city, starts seeing a new doctor, and meets a new guy. Just as things are beginning to look up for Clara, stress and anxiety take over, and she is lost to the illness once again.

As a schizophrenic, the author knows firsthand how difficult living with a brain disorder can be, and she brilliantly captures the emotions, questions, and battles brought on by the disease. Delivering a positive and hopeful message, Complete Surrender encourages those who are affected by mental illness to believe that the illness can be overcome - one day at a time.
