Features: As an experienced social worker and psychologist, the author of this book, based on personal experiences, elaborates on and explains cases of mental illness patients from various cultural, racial, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The book attempts to recreate the original narrative of the events as much as possible in the patients' own words and explains them using the diagnostic criteria of the American Psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). The text is clear and easy to understand, with a unique organizational structure. Each case begins with an introduction to the background and gradually delves deeper until the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment plan, possible medication, and prognosis of the case, giving readers a more comprehensive and precise impression of the patient. Additionally, readers will gain knowledge about psychopharmacology—a crucial treatment method for mental illness.
