About book Med Head: My Knock-down, Drag-out, Drugged-up Battle With My Brain (2010)
Honestly, this is my favorite book to date that I've read! I found it easy to identify with the main character. It was also a book that causes a range of different emotions, from happy or proud to sad and scared. To know that the book is based off a true story written by the father makes it even more of a remarkable book. Having gone through some problems myself, I could understand a bit more in depth of the story that others who have never suffered from mental illnesses may not be able to understand. I've had my fair share of problems, but Corey's problems by far surpass any obstacles that I have encountered. I've recommended this book to quite a few people, who have in return told me that they loved it as well. This book is a must read for any teen who is going through a difficult time. I would also highly suggest that parents of teens that are troubled read this, along with teachers who work with people whom are disabled or mentally ill. The book is fast paced, but it was a very enjoyable read! A non-fiction book for teens by a boy who has both OCD and Tourette's To be honest he sounds like an absolute nightmare. He has compulsions to hurt both others and himself. He also spits on people, etc. I quite disliked him, even though I know I was supposed to feel that it was 'not his fault'. Anyway, in the end he finds a solution of sorts: going off all drugs. He makes a trek through the wilderness, too. He had become an alcoholic. It seemed alcohol was the perfect medicine for him. A little to 'young' for me – the writing was not adult enough.
