About the Book

This work incorporates recent changes to the mental health acts. This latest book in the "Straightforward Guides Series", "A Straightforward Guide to Understanding Mental Illness, Revised Edition", updates the previous edition in the light of recent significant changes in the legislation dealing with Mental Health, and deals with the subject of mental health from the standpoint of both a professional involved in the field and also as someone who has had a wealth of experience in the area, both on a personal level and also dealing directly with those termed 'mentally ill'. There is a general misunderstanding and not a little prejudice, about varying types of mental illness, and the book sets out to describe and explore further the more widely known disorders and rarer conditions. The underlying aim is to explain in clear terms the nature of the various types of mental illness, the perceived roots of such illness and also intersperse this information with case studies. The following areas are covered: the role of mental health professionals; the Mental Health Act; psychiatric hospitals; care in the community; specific disorders; anxiety; depression; eating disorders; mania and manic depressive illness; obsessive compulsive disorders; paranoia; phobias; and suggested treatments.
