Description
Many people are bewildered not only by the problems which mental illness brings, but also by the complicated maze of treatments, services and professional help. This is a straightforward guide to mental illness and the different kinds of help available, and it includes a directory of organizations and support groups, as well as a glossary of psychiatric terms. It also offers information and advice on care and support in the community, what to do in a crisis, help for particular ethnic and minority groups, rights, housing, money, employment and training, and education and leisure.
