Vancouver artist Sandra Yuen MacKay has an abnormality of the brain - a disease called schizophrenia. As she says, "my life is schizophrenic because I have schizophrenia. It will always be there." Much of her life has been a struggle to cope with the symptoms of her disease and the side effects of the medications required to keep those symptoms in check. Early in her life, Sandra started to exhibit the typical symptoms of this disease which came as a surprise to her unsuspecting family. Her book chronicles her struggles, hospitalizations, encounters with professionals, return to school, eventual marriage, and success as an artist, writer and advocate. "Remarkably compelling...the book takes on a life if its own...a gripping narrative" Library Journal "There are precious few people who have experienced psychosis and can convey it accurately, clearly, and concisely. Sandra MacKay's story is an important one for all of us in the mental health field --doctors, patients, and their families. It is imperative that we take in the lessons she is imparting to us all, on how to manage, and in many ways, triumph, over chronic mental illness."

High-Quality Magnesium That’s Gentle and Effective
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
This magnesium glycinate is easy to take and very gentle on the stomach compared to other forms. It absorbs well and is a great option for supporting relaxation, muscle comfort, and overall well-being.
It’s especially helpful for easing tension and can support better sleep when taken regularly. Magnesium glycinate is known for its high absorption and calming effects without causing digestive upset.
The capsules are a bit larger, but still manageable and worth it for the quality.
Overall, a reliable and effective magnesium supplement.

Gentle Gentle Magnesium That Helped My Night Routine
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I bought the Thorne Magnesium Glycinate Capsules (90 servings) for $25 because I wanted a magnesium supplement that could support relaxation and better sleep as part of my nightly routine.
I’ve been taking it for about a month and noticed I feel more relaxed in the evenings and wind down easier before bed. I also tend to get tension and poor sleep when I’m run down, so having magnesium in my routine has been helpful for overall balance.
The capsules are easy to swallow and very gentle on the stomach, which I appreciate because some magnesium supplements can cause digestive discomfort. Magnesium glycinate is also known for being one of the more absorbable and well-tolerated forms of magnesium.
I actually ran out for about a week while waiting for my reorder, and that’s when I realized how much I liked having it in my routine. Once I started taking it again, it quickly became part of my evening habit.
The only downside is the price is higher than some other magnesium brands, but Thorne has a strong reputation for quality and third-party testing, which is why I chose it.
Overall, this feels like a high-quality magnesium supplement and a good option if you’re looking for a gentle, easy-to-tolerate form of magnesium.
