About this ebook
After being incarcerated for nearly killing his dad due to a psychosis-induced prophetic vision, Cohen Miles-Rath wishes to support others with their mental health challenges.
Cohen Miles-Rath, an elite runner and first-generation college student, attacked his dad with a knife. He thought he was saving humanity by killing Satan—the universe demanded it of him as the Prophet. However, he was deceived by mania and psychosis, and, soon after, was arrested at gunpoint.
Cohen’s love for his dad couldn’t stop mental illness from nearly destroying their lives. But effective intervention could have. He had been hospitalized twice. What went wrong? Since jail, Cohen has managed schizoaffective symptoms and substance misuse, confronted his painful past, and obtained a social work master’s degree. Now, he’s a mental health advocate.
Told through page-turning narrative, Cohen's transformational journey—having overcome a maniacal, reality-shattering illness—will inspire hope in those seeking insight with mental health.
