Mental illness simply explained

 

A handbook that explains mental illnesses and disorders in an easy-to-understand way.

Still healthy or already ill? A question many of us ask ourselves at some point in our lives. Whether you need support yourself or for a loved one, this book builds bridges and provides insights into the work and perspective of a psychiatrist.

Based on 60 columns written by the author for the Rheinische Post newspaper, this is a freshly revised and highly topical reference work that bridges the gap between often incomprehensible science/medicine and the everyday psychology that bombards us daily.

From schizophrenia to Alzheimer’s to eating disorders, he explains almost all the illnesses and disorders he has dealt with as a doctor over the course of his career.

The handbook is not intended to be a guide to self-psychologising, but rather to provide easy-to-understand explanations for those who have received a diagnosis from their doctor that is sometimes difficult to understand, or for their relatives.

Mental illnesses explained in layman’s terms.

For those affected, relatives and anyone interested in psychology. A valuable reference work.
