    Synopsis
    A much-praised memoir of living and surviving mental illness as well as "a stereotype-shattering look at a tenacious woman whose brain is her best friend and her worst enemy" ( Time ). Elyn R. Saks is an esteemed professor, lawyer, and psychiatrist and is the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychology, Psychiatry, and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California Law School, yet she has suffered from schizophrenia for most of her life, and still has ongoing major episodes of the illness. The Center Cannot Hold is the eloquent, moving story of Elyn's life, from the first time that she heard voices speaking to her as a young teenager, to attempted suicides in college, through learning to live on her own as an adult in an often terrifying world. Saks discusses frankly the paranoia, the inability to tell imaginary fears from real ones, the voices in her head telling her to kill herself (and to harm others), as well as the incredibly difficult obstacles she overcame to become a highly respected professional. This beautifully written memoir is destined to become a classic in its genre.

      Experience the world thru the eye of someone with mental illness.

      Such a fascinating compelling story, told by Elyn’s. She’s intelligent and has a bright future, the only thing holding her back is her own mind. It’s a journey through mental illness and how she learns to cope.

      A fellow Miamian

      Elyn Saks grew up in Miami where I grew up. She’s an interesting lady. The book explores her journey through college when her symptoms started, and beyond. I have not finished it yet but I’ve heard her speak on YouTube.
