MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Doctors, as strong, clever, resourceful professionals, are heir to human frailty and illness, like anyone else. This book is about diagnosable, label-able mental illness such as eating disorders, affective disorders and, sometimes, psychosis. More than that, it is a book about doctors, many fully-functioning, practising doctors, who suffer from these illnesses, and the unique insights and problems that arise when the doctor is the patient, especially when questions of insight and judgement are blurred.
Contents:
Overview of doctors with mental illness. Personal stories. Themes from the stories. Treatment issues. Discrimination. Reflection on health and illness. Ongoing support and relapse prevention.
