Synopsis "Love You Like Crazy"

Austin Mardon was a Canadian academic working towards his PhD when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He was told by doctors a career wasn't possible, he'd likely be homeless, and having a wife and kids would never happen. Catherine Curry was living as a successful lawyer in Oklahoma, when she was attacked by a member from a white supremacist group, who stabbed her seventeen times. She miraculously lived, but was left with many physical injuries and PTSD. Both struggling to come to terms with their new reality, facing stigma, and searching for acceptance and understanding, they decided to try online dating. Three months later they were engaged. People said he was crazy because of his schizophrenia and she was even crazier for marrying him. The couple faced the challenges that come with any marriage while also navigating the challenges that come with mental illness, including symptoms, medication side effects, discrimination, and stigma. The Mardon's story explores mental health and marriage, giving insight into what it's like to love someone who has a mental illness. They share with readers the challenges they've faced and how they've learned to support each other through it all.
