Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, Stress and Stigmas: Self-Help - Coping

by Ma I a Mohabier, Alyse King

Overview

This book provides an overview of how I coped with my son's and daughter's schizophrenia, bi-polar, stress and stigmas. This is a compelling story of sheer determination and not giving up or giving in to the demands of mental illnesses. It tells about searching and finding new ways for me to cope as their mother and caregiver. My story has inspired many who are undergoing severe stresses and depression, someone who is caring for loved ones, or someone who may be losing hope that in the face of unfathomable challenges, there is hope for effectively coping with your loved one's illnesses. This book is for readers looking for positive, uplifting, success stories of mothers who are single-handedly caring for their mentally ill sons and daughters and may feel hopeless because they cannot cope. I chose to write this book to encourage parents who are struggling to care for their sick sons and daughters, never give up hoping that they too can successfully cope with the stresses, depression and stigmas that are caused by mental illness.

About the Author

Ms. King's happiness about her ability to help her son and daughter has encouraged her to share the "recovery techniques" she used. She self-published seven books titled, "A Letter to Schizophrenia from a Mother," " Schizophrenia - Coping," "When Bi-Polar Strikes," "140 Ways Coping with Depression," "Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar, Stress and Stigmas," "Finding Hope in a Hopeless World," and a self-help Workbook titled, "Day After Day Coping with Mental Illness - Support for Individuals and Families."

These books tell how she rebuilt her children's lives by helping them with skills that are necessary for coping, managing daily in-home routines, adhering to medical reminders, as well as the increasing joy she felt after each hurdle that marked their movement beyond illness.

The experiences gained as the mother of children who are successfully recovering from illnesses, as well as being their full time caregiver, instructor and re-trainer, has enabled her to accumulate many years of expertise. Additionally, her prior experience as a trainer in the private sector has added necessary, unique tools for writing these books.

Alyse King also self-published three Self-Help Guides titled, "Reintegrating after Traumatic Life Experience for: "Self Improvement," "Job Preparation," and "How to Keep Your Job." The Workbooks provide continuing education and training for returning to employment or becoming financially independent. The Workbooks share the systematic techniques that Ms. King used in helping her children to develop personal skills and skills for hunting for a job, securing the job and holding the job.

She also self-published, "A Trainers' Manual for "Self-Improvement, Job Preparation, Job Retention." The Trainers' Manual provides guidance to all who wish to develop programs to help others to find work or achieve financial independence.
Alyse also self-published, "Comfort and Hope - Death- Reflections from Scriptures," and three non-fiction titles, "A 30-Day Online Romance, Based on a True Story - Part 1," "Confessions from A 30-Day Online Romance, Based on a True Story - Part 2, and "A Follow-Up of Confessions from A 30-Day Online Romance, Based on a True Story - Part 3."
