Psychiatric disorders represent enormous burdens of care and important causes of disability in the developing world. With the changing structure of the health services in southern Africa, healthcare workers at the primary level are increasingly required to deal with a wide range of psychological problems and psychiatric disorders. This book aims to equip these workers with basic information on how to identify and manage the majority of these problems, with guidelines on when and how to refer to more specialised levels of care. An extensive list of resources is provided.
