Common mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, have been diagnosed separately in recent years, but they are all linked together.

This book is designed to make clinical evidence accessible to mental health practitioners, general practitioners and students. This third edition covers 15 different mental health disorders, 27 questions and over 200 interventions.

This text draws on evidence from neuroimaging studies, together with evidence from fields including neuropsychology and cognitive psychology, to generate a coherent account of the cerebal processes by which mental symptoms are generated.
