What if a person’s greatest insights came during their darkest hours? Join me, Diana Dirkby, as I celebrate a major milestone—my book "The Overlife: A Tale of Schizophrenia" has become a bestseller on Amazon Kindle! I'll share exclusive details on where you can purchase this powerful story and highlight the unique experience offered by the audiobook version, narrated by the talented Wendy Moman. Plus, get an exciting sneak peek at my upcoming novel, "Three Kidnapped, Three Siblings, Three Furies," featuring Isabel Morse, a brilliant scholar of Greek myths who is also living with schizophrenia. Dive into the complex world of sibling abuse and uncover how Isabel’s expertise becomes instrumental in solving a series of kidnappings in the town of Vraboro.
But that’s not all—this episode goes beyond fiction to address real-world challenges of engaging with severe mental illness. By sharing Isabel’s story, we explore the importance of empathy and understanding when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis. I open up about my personal frustrations and the struggles of separating one’s identity from their illness. We emphasize that contributions made during a relapse can still be meaningful, highlighting the critical need for patience and compassion. Tune in to gain deeper insights into the lives of those living with mental health conditions and learn how we can all foster a more empathetic world.
