About the book
"For 32 years Ken Steele suffered the devastating symptoms of schizophrenia, tortured by inner voices commanding him to kill himself, ravaged by the delusions of paranoia, barely surviving on the ragged edges of society.". "The Day the Voices Stopped is the story of Ken Steele's cruel illness and his hard-won recovery. It is also the story of how activism and advocacy helped Ken regain his sanity and go on to give hope to so many others like him. Here he shares not only the experience of living with schizophrenia, but offers advice on how families can help support loved ones coping with severe mental illness.". "Ken Steele's Voter Empowerment Project, aimed at bringing people with mental illness to the voting booths, registered 28,000 previously disenfranchised voters in New York City alone. Through his work as publisher of the mental health advocacy newsletter New York City Voices, Steele helped move mental health issues to the forefront of public health debates."--BOOK JACKET.
