About the ABC of Mental Health

Mental health services have changed completely in the UK, and this new edition of the ABC of Mental Health has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect this.

Providing clear practical advice on how to recognise, diagnose and manage mental disorders successfully and safely, with sections on selecting drugs and psychological treatments, and improving compliance, this ABC also contains information on the major categories of mental health disorders, the mental health needs of vulnerable groups (such as children, the elderly, the homeless and ethnic minorities) and the psychological treatments.

Fully up-to-date with recent mental health legislation, this new edition is as comprehensive as it is invaluable. By covering the mental health needs of special groups, the ABC of Mental Health equips GPs, hospital doctors, nurses, counsellors and social workers with all the information they need for the day-to-day management of patients with mental health problems.

About the ABC series

The new ABC series has been thoroughly updated, offering a fresh look, layout and features throughout, helping you to access information and deliver the best patient care. The newly designed books remain an essential reference tool for GPs, GP registrars, junior doctors and those in primary care, designed to address the concerns of general practitioners and provide effective study aids for doctors in training.

Now offering over 70 titles, this extensive series provides you with a quick and dependable reference on a range of topics in all the major specialities. Each book in the new series now offers links to further information and articles, and a new dedicated website provides you with even more support.

The ABC series is the essential and dependable source of up-to-date information for all practitioners and students in general practice.
