Publisher's Synopsis
Religion, family and localised work once provided social cohesion, even if life was hard. Moden short or zero hours contracts and unemployment are proven stressors. Small wonder mental illness is commonplace. Mental health awareness is vital for equality and those who care about others. Volume 1 covers the community context of mental illness; a short history of mental illness, mental health law and stigmatization. After reading this, you might like volume 2 which explains how diagnoses are made and how mental health professionals work.
