This book is primarily intended to provide guidance on mental illness to medical students and doctors who are not specialist psychiatrists. It consists of short descriptions of mental health problems that are frequently encountered in day-to-day clinical practice, and each problem is dealt with lucidly. Written by two dedicated and experienced academic psychiatrists, the chapters are logically structured, well illustrated and include a wealth of useful tips. The focus, unlike many other textbooks of psychiatry, is on management. In short, this is an excellent book giving practical advice that is based mainly on what medical students are taught in the ward. With the welcome trend in most medical schools to include psychiatry as a separate subject in the final year and assess it at the final MBBS examination, this is a timely and useful addition to the available textbooks on psychiatry, both for the students and their teachers.
