Originally published in 1980, First Aid in Mental Health offers a clear, helpful and sympathetic guide to the nature of mental illness and the kinds of help and treatment available at the time. Joy Melville looks in particular at: warning signs, medical help, schizophrenia, anxiety and stress, depression, post-natal depression, anorexia, elderly mentally infirm, patient’s rights, treatment, and supplies not only a practical and sensible account of the nature and problems of mental illness, but also the reassurance that the sufferers and their families are not alone and help is available.
