Many of Filer’s sentences, particularly when he describes the lack of a biological basis for diagnosing schizophrenia, made me screw my face up in concentration but he is companionable enough to offer such asides as, “It’s a lot to take in, isn’t it?” Besides which, no one would expect a book about schizophrenia — and how society deals with it — to be a breezy read. Filer digs into ostensible causes and symptoms; stigma and language; past and current treatments.
