David had his whole life planned for him. He would graduate from medical school, become a physician with his own practice in the small town of Farmington, and have a healthy and happy marriage. When David learns that he has a mental illness, his world spirals into uncertainty. His journey to find the right psychiatric care forces him to confront his past and uncover the mystery behind the deaths of family members. He must also distinguish between real fear and paranoia as he struggles to keep his fiancée, Maria, and graduate from medical school. David takes his readers through his nightmare to give them the keys to overcoming mental illness from the perspective of the physician and the patient. He learns that part of surviving one of the most difficult types of illnesses to treat is finding the willpower to conquer it.

"It's a story—no, it's a textbook. Dr. Jos successfully blends both in a way that keeps the pages alive. I found myself worrying about the main character, as well as stopping to refresh my knowledge. Well done."
