John Ingram Walker takes the reader through causes, methods of
diagnosis, and recognized best treatment options. He offers therapists a
clear path through the complexities of psychiatric diagnosis. Doctors
and therapists will learn how to recognize the symptoms of several
mental health concerns that commonly bring clients to their offices:
depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia and psychosis,
dementia, substance abuse, personality disorders, sexual dysfunction and
sleep disorders. At the same time, individuals from all walks of life
will find here the tools they need to identity the warning signs
signaling that they might be suffering from one of these conditions, and
how to choose and get the most out of treatment.
