I've already read (but do not own a copy of) The Center Cannot Hold and No One Cares About Crazy People. The Center Cannot Hold takes the reader into the mind of Elyn Saks (amazing book!) while No One Cares About Crazy People focuses more about a dad praising his boys and bragging as proud parents do (the boys have schizoaffective disorder). It doesn't focus so much on the illness. It focuses more on the father's struggle to help his sons on the one hand, and bragging about their talents on the other. It's more about how the father feels about having mentally ill sons.

thank you for your short reviews! I try to keep books varied, since I don't know what people look for. Some people might be looking for the same experience of the illness as they have, others are looking for the means to understand their friend or relative. Now they can make a better and informed choice!
