Mental health disorders not only affect the quality of life of the person, but also bringssubstantial emotional as well as economic burden over the family (Rashid, 2015). This essayaims to discover about the importance of lived experience on the care regimen of mental illness.While reflecting on this, the essay will also draw the example of the recovery journey of SandyJeff, who is an award winning author, who suffered from schizophrenia for over 35 years.
