This collection of cases speaks volumes for his skill as a doctor and a writer and his unique insights into medical and psychological matters as are reflected in many of his public lectures on 'Worries', 'Theory of Karma', 'Prescription for Happy Marriages', 'Food as Medicine' and 'Life after Death'. For persons who might experience some of the concerns dealt with-especially those of an embarrassing sexual nature such as masturbation, underdeveloped breasts and sterility-and who might be reluctant to discuss their problems openly with a doctor, this book will be of inestimable value and may well reassure them that their problems are by no means unique.

"Nature is the best cure. Ayurvedic treatment is a harmless and natural therapy without any side effects. Psychological knowledge, if used properly, is beneficial for mankind in general especially when it is administered by the medical doctor."

The experience of brain injury does not have to be permanently dark and lonely. Instead, through an examination of personal values, the affirmation of hope, an on-going appraisal of realistic expectations, and application of specific rehabilitation strategies, life can once again have meaning, joy, and contentment. Normal Again focuses on a compassionate understanding of the personal experience of brain injury, with medical and psychological detail sufficient for gaining a basic understanding of brain injury. This is complemented with practical information about psychological, family, and vocational adjustments—and how to accomplish them—necessary for going beyond the usual scope of brain injury rehabilitation.

There are literally thousands of books out there about overcoming depression, anxiety, fear, worry and all the other varied symptoms of mental illness.

This book is not one of them.

Mary and Daniel Hann make the startling claim that a certain portion of the human population is born with mental disorders. They are not talking about some temporary affliction brought on by circumstances. No, they are talking about diseases that are life-long and cannot be overcome, only managed. They know, for they live with it themselves everyday.

Mental illness is real, just as real as any physical illness. And it is just as debilitating, possibly more so, because those who suffer from it have to keep it hidden.

This book lifts the lid on mental illness and makes an urgent plea for understanding and acceptance.

Going on to Cornell to become a Veterinarian was a dream that came true.

Life was great, newly married, the starting of a family, and the building of his own practice. What more could he want?

Depressive illness and suicide attempts were not imaginable during the first forty-three years of life. But now the cycle of his life would be complete. He planned to end his life in the very room that he was born in fifty-two years earlier, a victim of depression.

Miraculously he survived a near-fatal gunshot, and finally overcame the depressive illness that clouded his life for twenty-three years.

After finding a cure and renewed energy, Dr. Marshall created the Jim Marshall Farms Foundation, Inc., a place of refuge where those suffering can get away from their troubles and be free. Everyone is greeted with a friendly smile, and the unconditional love that animals provide.

Now, more than ever, Dr. Marshall would like to share his story in hopes to help others and prevent the horrible choices that depressed individuals make.

“Of all the books written about schizophrenia…none is more comprehensive, accurate, thorough, and clearer in style and statement than John Modrow’s classic How to Become a Schizophrenic. Modrow, who is a recovered schizophrenic and is, perhaps, the unrecognized and unappreciated world’s foremost authority on this disorder, has performed a truly invaluable service and has made the major contribution to our understanding of the causes and cures of this pseudodisease.”

“One of the best things I’ve read on the subject…I am struck by the richness of the ideas and the research and the soundness of the conclusions.”

“…a very important contribution to the field.”

“…well researched and easily readable (a difficult combination to achieve)!”

“…meticulously challenges all the major research that claims that schizophrenia is a biological disorder.”

“Before reading the book, I was largely convinced that schizophrenia was primarily a brain disease. Modrow has forced me to take a second look, however, and reconsider the psychological causes of the condition.”

“…it is ennobling that despite bad and discouraging treatment he was able to understand himself and others, and share that acquired knowledge in an accurate and helpful way.”

“…gives clear proof that there’s real hope. Truly a remarkable book!”

Each has had a loved one ravaged by Alzheimer's Disease. We watched them morph into complete strangers who continue to look the same. Famous or not, the five million Alzheimer's victims in this country and their families are people trying to get through this tragedy.

Whether beginning the search for diagnosis, adjusting to its reality, or wondering if you are doing the right thing, you are eager for answers. Whether the victim is in the early, moderate or severe stage you have doubts. Been there and done that.

To the astonishment of doctors, we kept my wife at home and thriving for thirteen years with moderate to severe Alzheimer's Disease. To do that takes dedication, planning and faith. However, we are ordinary people and we did it. Many of you can too.

I wrote this book because this disease has touched nearly a hundred friends either as victims, relatives or caregivers. During one half hour at my fifty-fifth college reunion, I learned of three more stricken classmates. This book is for them, their friends, families, and you.
