This book serves to enlighten all readers on the ramifications of several common mental disorders in our society today, which is often a “taboo” subject in many communities around the world. It starts off by offering a brief overview of some reality statistics, followed by the psychopathology of anxiety disorders, depression and schizophrenia as well as their current available treatment. Pharmacological remedies are appropriately discussed but the focus here is thoroughly on complementary and alternative therapies (CATs). Scientific studies using biological-based therapies, mind-body therapies and traditional therapies are summarised in simple tables that allow readers to quickly obtain an overall gauge of the findings. Health-related quality of life implications are uniquely added here too. There is a strong tendency that the outcomes of many of these practices are pointing to the positive direction and are undoubtedly useful additional treatment options for patients. Essentially, this interesting compilation captures this complicated health issue in a tidy nutshell that is presented in an easy-to-follow language and format.
