This book is a very thorough overview of what is available out there for mental health care in the USA. While there is a large section that describes the various mental disorders, what symptoms the patient is apt to display, and what therapies (both medications and talk therapies) are useful for those disorders, this is not a self help book – there are no work sheets or exercises for the mentally ill. This is for helping the family (or the patient) find professional aid. This book can help save precious time and money by seeking the correct treatment right off the bat. If you have a family member or friend with a mental illness and they aren’t getting help, this can help guide you. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
More than fifty million people a year are diagnosed with some form of mental illness. It spares no sex, race, age, ethnicity, or income level. And left untreated, mental disorders can devastate our families and communities. Family members and friends are often the first to realize when someone has a problem, but it is hard to know how to help or where to turn. From understanding depression, bipolar illness and anxiety to eating and traumatic disorders, schizophrenia, and much more, readers will learn what to do and how to help.

Also covered is information on different types of therapy, medications and hospitalization options. Additionally, the author does a good job explaining confidentiality and consent issues which details exactly what family members can do to intervene in the treatment of a loved one.
While some of the insurance aspects of this book may become dated over time, I appreciated that the book attempted to stay away from any medication or policy specific information, which means that this book will stay relevant longer than if it had included, say, information about certain types of medications that may not be the standard of care in a few years time.
Highly recommended for anybody who has a loved one suffering from a mental illness and doesn't know what they can do about it, or who just wants to become more informed on the topic in general. ( )
