Adam has schizophrenia. He's always know he's had it but it's only recently been diagnosed. He's usually able to cope with the voices he hears and the people he sees but sometimes it all gets to be too much. And now he is on an experimental drug to deal with the way the schizophrenia manifests itself in his life. Adam is also starting a new school and he decides he's not going to tell anyone at his new school about his schizophrenia. This includes his maybe girlfriend Maya. But as the experimental drug slowly stops working and Adam starts decompensating it becomes harder and harder for him to hide the outward signs of his schizophrenia. Words on Bathroom Walls is a wonderful novel to help readers understand what life is like for those who live with schizophrenia on a daily basis.
