In Me, Myself, and Them, Kurt Snyder looks back from the vantage point of recovery and eloquently describes the debilitating changes in thoughts and perceptions that took hold of his life during his teens and twenties. As a memoir, this book is remarkable for its unvarnished look at the slow and difficult process of coming back from severe mental illness. Yet Kurt's memoir is only half the story. With the help of psychiatrist Raquel E. Gur, M.D., and
veteran science writer Linda Wasmer Andrews, Kurt paints the big picture for others affected by adolescent schizophrenia. Drawing on the latest scientific and medical evidence, he explains how to recognize warning
signs, where to find help, and what treatments have proved effective.
As a child, Kurt Snyder was healthy and happy. He was a good student with a supportive and loving family, and he enjoyed playing sports with his friends. But things began to change as he
went off to college: he started to experience disorganized thinking; grandiose fantasies distracted him from homework; paranoia kept him living in fear. His studies, career plans, and dreams for the future fell by the wayside as schizophrenia gradually took over his life.
Now an adult with a career in technology, Snyder has learned to successfully and healthfully manage his schizophrenia, and he tells his remarkable story in Me, Myself, and Them. The result is both an absorbing memoir and a useful guide that will help to ease the isolation caused by schizophrenia.
