Mental disorders. Clinic, treatment, prevention

Despite the rapid development of psychiatry as a clinical discipline over the past two centuries, there is still a rather vague understanding of mental illnesses and their treatment in society. Internists also face certain difficulties in diagnosing mental disorders and providing adequate consultative assistance to patients. The handbook describes the causes and mechanisms of the most common mental illnesses, as well as the psychopathological symptoms, course, treatment methods, prevention, care, and rehabilitation of mentally ill individuals. The book is intended for neurologists, psychotherapists, physicians of other specialties, and anyone interested in the issues of modern psychiatry. 2nd revised and expanded edition.
