Description

Resilient: Surviving My Mental Illness is a deeply personal account about life with mental illness, hearing loss and resiliency. Liz's journey provides encouragement for patients, families, friends, and healthcare workers by showing that recovery is possible.

At seventeen, Liz's world collapses into a place of depression, psychosis, and a revolving hospital door. Despite this, she finds ways to persevere and shares her emotional rollercoaster with the reader, giving them insight into what it means to live with mental illness.

This memoir is suggested for use in university courses, health education programs, and clinical workshops to promote deeper understanding of lived experience, trauma-informed care, and recovery. It offers a valuable perspective on psychiatric hospitalization, disability, and resilience, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals across mental health, healthcare, and disability studies fields.
