Hi, my name is Christopher Kennedy, I live in Perth, Australia and I am schizoaffective. I have written this book to help others who suffer from this terrible disease. I have been a gold miner, poet, journalist, foreign affairs analyst and China scholar. This book covers my life from the age of 35 to 55, starting off in a locked ward in a psychiatric unit, a turn in the chemotherapy ward for Hodgkinsons Lymphoma and ending with me finding some peace with life at the age of 55.
