Being Here Now: Insights of an Ex-Schizophrenic does not promise anything magical. It only offers new knowledge and skills to help create, discover or unleash a personal sense of sanity, success, and wellness. Towards this end, it covers existence, interaction, and grit from fresh perspectives. It attempts to demystify much of our social reality and furnishes a new basis for all individuals, the ordinary and the challenged, to contribute and feel contented. Insights to help acquire such a sense emerged during the author's recovery from schizophrenia. This offering is a vastly improved second edition that makes for easier reading and assimilation.
Ganesh N Rajan
Ganesh was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his late teens, circa 1980. He experienced florid symptoms of the condition, including hallucinations and delusions. The symptoms receded after three years of treatment; however, many allied issues like social withdrawal,inappropriate emotions, and low self-esteem remained. Nevertheless, through sheer serendipity and some analyses, besides newer anti-psychotics, he got over much of the distress associated with the affliction. His two books capture the essence of everything that facilitated his return, rejuvenated. Ganesh is 60-plus and has been on some form of medication for more than 40 years. He holds an Engineering degree, a master’s in Business Administration, and Social & Applied Economics. He lives in Chennai, India, and believes in cheering all the way.
