Living on the Streets with Mental Illness Michele Molina

My book is about how I was diagnosed with a mental illness, and the challenges that I have been through. I have had a lot of struggles because this illness affects a person's ability to think feel and behave clearly. Treatment can help, but you must accept that you have this illness. I had to face the fact that I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and depression. I had many ups and downs. I lost touch with reality, and had difficulty with concentration. This book is my story. It is about how I survived on the streets of New York city being homeless, and how my belief in God helped me through, and of course the caring people that helped me along the way.
