Publisher Description: In 1958, Marshall Friedell went to a psychiatrist seeking help for panic attacks. These attacks were paralyzing him from living his dream of completing a master's degree. After a week in a psychiatric unit and many mental assessments, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and put on medication. In 33 Years on the Street, Marshall recounts his years of struggle with a misdiagnosis that sent him into a life of despair. His question was always "Why?" He took his fate back into his hands more than 30 years later, seeking out new medical advice that ultimately renewed his hope at a normal existence. Marshall was able to feel useful in his life once again and began to ask the question, "Why not?" Marshall's journey is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hopeful, and always honest and raw. |
