The theme advanced in this publication is that mental health is bigger than clinical psychiatry and clinical psychiatry practised on its own is incomplete. Thus, various disciplines that constitute the mental health discipline such as clinical psychology, sociology and medical anthropology have been covered. Covers the major aspects of clinical psychiatry as seen in children, adolescents and adults. These include the causes of mental illness, signs and symptoms of mental illness and how to document and classify mental disorders. In addition, various treatments and managements have been extensively discussed. These include biological and physical treatments, and complementary and alternative medicines.
