The Diary of a Caregiver is a new type of self-help book told through a fictional character's diary, Mrs. Patstegre. She is the main character and narrator of the book.

One hundred and one diary entries entwine Mrs. Patstegre's knowledge with fictional stories that tell the prejudices and stigmas aimed at loved ones and Caregivers living in the world of mental illness.

This book will help you deal with anger, loneliness, persecution, and unfairness. Mrs. Patstegre's tips, coping skills, opinions, and experiences can assist you in caring for loved ones and others suffering from poor mental health.

After years of watching loved ones, including her son, the elderly, the homeless, and others suffering from symptoms of mental illness, Mrs. Patstegre's anguish leads her to develop a form of lucid dreaming she calls mind killing ... a term she uses for immensely imaginative scenarios where she kills/hurts evil tormentors while dreaming. Initially enticed by her mind kills, she becomes overwhelmed and looks for direction to end her anger.

The Diary of a Caregiver will validate all that you do as a Caregiver.

Let Mrs. Patstegre's adventure into self-discovery guide you toward better care for you and your loved ones.
