Summary

"One person in four will develop a mental illness at some point in life. The vast majority will suffer from mild to moderate depression, anxiety or substance misuse. As a result, most mental healthcare is delivered in general practice. That is why we wrote this book: a book of psychiatry algorithms for general practice. Our book is designed as a practical guide to psychiatric assessment and mental health care in day-to-day general practice. It is not a substitute for a medical degree, for continuing medical education or for the systematic syntheses of evidence published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Instead, our book is aimed at informing rapid clinical decisions in busy surgeries and clinics. With backgrounds in general practice and psychiatry, we recognise the need for guidance about both the mental health problems that are commonly seen in general practice and the problems that are rarely seen and are therefore more unfamiliar. So, this book is intended to assist in both of these situations, when rapid assessment and a treatment decision are needed for problems both familiar and unfamiliar"--
