Description and Table of Contents

Description

Nearly half of all individuals who need care for a mental disorder go to primary care physicians rather than to psychiatrists or other mental health professionals. Yet, research shows clearly that few mental disorders are detected, diagnosed, or treated correctly by primary care physicians. In this book, the world's most prominent researchers in mental health and primary care have organized and cogently presented the data that is reversing past trends in treating mental disorders. This approach describes new guidelines and training practices so that primary care professionals will learn to better diagnose and treat mental disorders in the future.
