Book Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to psychiatry for undergraduate medical students.

Beginning with an introduction to the field, the next chapters discuss biological sciences, psychosocial sciences, and classification and evaluation.

The following sections cover the diagnosis and treatment of numerous psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, OCD, sleep disorders, eating disorders, and many more.

All sectors of the population are covered, from children and adolescents, to geriatrics, and a complete chapter is dedicated to culture bound syndromes (a combination of psychiatric and somatic symptoms that are considered to be a recognisable disease only within a specific society or culture).

The book concludes with discussion on psychopharmacology and psychotherapies, legal and ethical issues, community and preventive psychiatry, and the history and future of the field.
