Did delusions create the demons?
Did demons create the delusions?
Michael Hawkins descends into paranoia, hallucinations and delusions in this character portrait of a 19-year-old university student. After Michael adopts another personality to cope with his shifting reality, his mind fractures.
Voices begin to whisper...
This novelised autobiography aims to increase awareness of the difficulties faced by those who suffer anxiety, voice hearing, magical thinking, suicidal compulsion and a host of other symptoms. It may act as a resource for sufferers and their support network, and educators and students in the mental health profession. Hopefully, it offers comfort by helping others feel less isolated, alone.
Please note, this title contains only Part 1 of the final autobiography, and centres around Nicholas' suicide attempt at university, aged 19.
