Description
A Concise Introduction to Mental Health in Canada offers a unique contribution to mental health literature. Covering the full spectrum of mental health in Canada, this highly accessible text applies an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates insights from both the physical and social sciences to expand the way readers think about mental health. The chapters provide a multi-layered analysis and address a wide range of topics, including substance use, stigma and discrimination, gender and sexuality, culture and ethnicity, children and youth, older adults, diagnosis, treatment, and mental health professions and practices. The authors take a population and public health approach to explain the social determinants of mental health and bring frequently invisible or little-understood mental health issues to the forefront of awareness. This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest scientific findings, changes in terminology, and current research regarding the diagnostic classifications and epidemiology of mental illnesses in Canada. Featuring glossaries of key terms, critical thinking questions, lists of recommended readings and websites, and a self-help resource, this engaging book provides a superb grounding for students of health studies, medicine, nursing, social work, psychology, and public health, as well as anyone interested in learning more about this important subject.
