A guide to understanding and helping a teenager with schizophrenia. This work is designed for parents of teens who have been diagnosed with this complicated illness, or who are at risk of developing it, and for other adults, such as teachers and guidance counsellors, who are in contact with at-risk adolescents.

Written specifically to help adults spot the warning signs of schizophrenia in young people, this informative guide clearly defines the disease, and contains information on how to arrange for the proper diagnosis and treatment.
