Mental illnesses are a pervasive and profound global concern, causing immense suffering to individuals and communities across the globe. While many healthcare professionals may have a stronger background in dealing with physical ailments, the importance of addressing mental health issues cannot be overstated. This practical manual serves as a crucial resource for community health workers, primary care nurses, social workers, and primary care doctors, particularly in resource-limited settings. It offers a foundational understanding of mental illness by presenting over thirty clinical problems commonly associated with it, and employs a problem-solving approach to guide readers through their assessment and management. The book delves into the specific contexts in which mental health issues arise, such as refugee camps, school health programs, and mental health promotion efforts. Additionally, the final section provides valuable guidance for readers to tailor their approach to a particular location, including local information on voluntary agencies, medication names and costs, and local language terms for symptoms. Moreover, this product is also available as Open Access, ensuring widespread accessibility and dissemination of knowledge. By prioritizing mental health care, we can strive to create a more inclusive and compassionate society where individuals can receive the support and treatment they need to thrive.
