Outskirts Press Announces Psych Consults, a Layman’s Guide to Psychiatric Conditions

Sarasota, FL, March 31, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Most people have been touched by depression, an anxiety disorder, or attention-deficit disorder. Studies show these and other psychiatric conditions afflict one in three people -- and that doesn’t count family and friends who are also affected.

The renowned Dr. Robert J. Mignone now gives patients, their loved ones, and medical professionals a thorough, easy-to-understand guide to the most common psychiatric conditions. This scholarly yet accessible book is designed for any adult seeking to recognize and treat everything from depression to specific issues faced by children and seniors.

The book covers:
• The features, health risks, and today’s treatment options for mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.
• Why many disorders are often misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated --and how you can make sure that doesn’t happen to you or your loved one.
• Depression and chronic illness: how to avoid falling into the depression trap after a diagnosis.
• Why people get depressed during the holidays -- and how to cope.
• The truth about ADD and ADHD—and the latest on treatment options.
Psych Consults is full of information backed up by decades of Dr. Mignone’s experience in mental health.

254 pages in length, Psych Consults: A Concise Guide to Common Psychiatric Conditions is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the medical and mental Health category.
