Solo Schizophrenia

From Princeton classrooms to periods of homelessness, Solo Schizophrenia follows Davis’ descent into schizophrenia and his long, difficult path toward recovery. Davis recounts how voices, paranoia, and increasingly distorted beliefs transformed his understanding of himself and the world around him, offering a firsthand perspective on an often misunderstood illness. Alongside his account of schizophrenia, Davis reflects on race, faith, love, addiction, violence, and loss, exploring the complicated boundary between belief and reality. Written with candor and dark humor, Solo Schizophrenia (self-published) offers an intimate account of mental illness and one man’s effort to make sense of his experiences and share his story.
