Description for Mind Estranged: My Journey from Schizophrenia and Homelessness to Recovery
Review On October 25th, 2014 I had one of my professional paradigms and prejudices confronted and shattered. I was in Cincinnati to attend a psychiatric CME program on treating resistant mental disorders. No other biological psychiatric disorder is as difficult to treat to perfection and recovery as schizophrenia. In my entire four year residency at Mayo Clinic I had only one patient with schizophrenia who was totally normal on a very low dose of an antipsychotic. At the end of the conference on October 25th, Dr. Henry Nasrallah, MD, interviewed Bethany Yeiser, BS, and her mother Karen Yeiser, RN. I heard a little bit of Bethany�s classic psychotic break, classic downward drift, and the hellish demons of madness she encountered (replete with command auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, tactile hallucinations, paranoia, and four years of homelessness). Bethany�s fall from a level of optimal psychosocial functioning down to the pit of madness, and back to a sanity, which appears perfectly restored, lucid, and again with high functioning is breathtaking. In person, she is charming. Her language and stage presence is commanding. And her music is beautiful. I was so impressed in hearing Bethany and meeting her that I immediately purchased her book, MIND ESTRANGED: MY JOURNEY FROM SCHIZOPHRENIA AND HOMELESSNESS TO RECOVERY, as well as her mother�s book, FLIGHT FROM REASON: A MOTHER�S STORY OF SCHIZOPHRENIA, RECOVERY AND HOPE. I read Bethany�s book in two days. This book is a beacon of hope to those whose minds are compromised by a major mental disorder. There is hope. Recovery is possible. Until we have tried literally every medication at our disposal � now or in the future - we cannot give up. I am incredibly grateful to Miss Yeiser for writing this book. Every mental health care professional, patient, and family member of a loved one with a major mental illness should read it. Louis B.

She began full-time college at age fifteen and transferred to a well-known university on the West Coast at seventeen.Bethany spent three months living and volunteering in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya and in Lagos, Nigeria during the summer of 2002. On her return, in October, 2002, she incorporated a small nonprofit organization to channel money into indigenous African medical missions.It received tax-exempt status in March 2003, and raised several thousand dollars to build a new clinic in Nairobi, Kenya in August of 2003.Bethany was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2007 after spending four years as a homeless person, including one year spent with only one change of clothes, and living in a churchyard.
