Becoming Real (Paperback)

Lynne Snow, a final year Pharmacology student, is busy preparing for her dissertation. She seems to be doing well but deep inside she feels stressed, even disorientated about her future and what people would think if she didn't get a First Class. Pressure builds up as deadlines approach and mental illness strikes during the last week before her final exams. Strange voices and bizarre thoughts attack and engulf her own self, pushing her to the brink of self-destruction. When she is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, nothing seems to improve; she will soon find out that her illness is far from the full story. Are the voices and thoughts real? Will she be able to regain her sense of self in this fragmented world?
