Troubled minds

Many of us take our mental health for granted. But we can feel overwhelmed when confronted by mental illness in ourselves, a family member, or a friend. 'Troubled Minds' is a useful guide for anyone whose life has been touched by mental ill-health and who wants to understand and deal effectively with it. It serves as an ideal introduction to common mental illnesses, developmental disorders, and neurological variations that can lead to distress such as autism, anorexia nervosa, anxiety, depression, alcoholism, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dementia.
