| book description |

The book examines an increasingly popular approach to diagnosis and classification - that mental illness is a medical disease associated with adverse behaviour or emotional changes. This second edition contains data useful to all psychiatrists, physicians, or mental health workers. This edition emphasizes concepts based on hard data rather than opinions. It clarifies the diagnostic importance of epidemiology, clinical presentation, course of illness, biological background, genetic correlates, response to treatment, and personality associations. The book: offers an extensive chapter on genetics of all psychiatric illnesses; evaluates syndromes which are not necessarily illnesses - anxiety, motor symptoms, affective symptoms and suicide; and organizes chapters according to variables in the medical model - to place the illness in context and aid differential diagnosis.
