Elyn Saks provides an incredibly empathic and sensitive discussion of her illness and offers hope to many who suffer from schizophrenia.

Her explanation on the cause of her illness coincides with theirs "that it is a brain disorder'. There is not a shred of evidence that this illness is organic, genetic or hereditary. There is scientific evidence , which they are now ignoring because it is not profitable, that it is psychological and curable.
