Any good books written from a schizophrenic person's point of view?

Foucault's very early work has really really good stuff, he indulges in an existential phenomenology of (historical forms of) madness and schizophrenia. I'd recommend reading the first part of Gary Gutting's Archaeology of Scientific Reason. Just the parts on Folie et deraison, pre-Birth of the Clinic stuff, really - 50 pages, very readable, and you can use it as a guide to Foucault's actual stuff.

Diary of a Schizophrenic girl is genuinely the memoirs of the duration of a young french girls schizophrenia. It finishes with a very poor but maybe historically interesting overview of her illness by the psychiatrist who saw her.
It's short and an incredible insight, sighted by Huxley in one of his essays (maybe doors of perception, but more likely heaven and hell).
