Part Two presents psychotic madness and the struggle of the mind to maintain control of the self in an environment where distrust of misdiagnosing doctors, prevail. It shows how reality and imagination are mixed together resulting in fascinating but often dangerous situations. Amateurish theories about the anatomy of the brain and characteristics of the nervous system, and what causes homosexuality are shared. In Part Three, resolutions of major issues occur. The psychotic illness comes under control. A mutually healthy relationship with a beautiful and intelligent woman is established. A more suitable profession is identified. A support network is built. Basically, a harmonious person emerges. About the Author The Author is born in Sweden by an American mother and a Swedish Father. He grew up overseas—mainly in Holland, Ecuador, and Argentina.
