Description
Misjudged and Misperceived is an explosive nonfiction story based on the traumatic experiences of a 27-year-old anonymous gentleman, using the pseudonym Mavuto, who was diagnosed with Early Onset Schizophrenia aged fifteen. Though his identity is hidden, the plot contains real life occurrences used as the lens through which the writer who studied Mental Health Nursing at Greenwich University, London in 1999, examines factors that prevented early intervention and delayed Mavuto’s diagnosis, purporting the argument early intervention could have improved Mavuto’s quality of life.
The intriguing narrative unravels a shocking tale about superstitious beliefs in witchcraft, a lack of education about mental illnesses and a disruptive childhood.
Mavuto as the main protagonist, is not without his flaws and tells his story in the first-person narrative through recorded Zoom interviews, emails, WhatsApp conversations and text messages with Bridgette James after meeting her online on her Facebook platform, Ella’s Home of Creative Writing, when he was longlisted in a regional writing competition, about the alcohol addiction which precipitated his illness.
