Reshma was diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 22. As she says, she didn’t ‘even know what the darn word meant’. In this extraordinary, first-of-its-kind account she writes about her experience of living with therapies and medication, struggling to make sense of her situation, surviving suicide attempts, finding support groups—and finally coming into her own. With rare candour and clarity she recounts her sense of being ‘different’ as a teenager, while rebelling against all attempts to pigeon-hole and discipline her. This is her story, told in utterly unsparing prose, courageous, powerful, eloquent and poignant.
Reshma Valliappan is Founder-Director of Mind Arcs and The Red Door that work in the area of breaking barriers between normalcy and madness, along with a platform to advocate for the rights of persons with mental illness. She was elected Ashoka Fellow in 2014, and received the WIN Woman of the Year Award, 2012-2013, in Pune. She is the protagonist of the Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) documentary, A Drop of Sunshine which is based on her true story of recovery and living with schizophrenia without medication.
