In the chapters of this book, I present information regarding common emotional conditions of "neurosis" and the less-common conditions of mental illness referred-to as "psychosis." It is my intention to help define the differences between these two types of emotional and mental disorders but to also present the differences between common conditions of neurosis that are in the anxiety and depression categories. Subjects covered include descriptions of major depression, bipolar depression, schizophrenia and different types of major anxiety disorders. Signs, symptoms and diagnosis are discussed, as well as the treatments that are administered for these different types of disorders (i.e. pharmaceutical, psychiatric and natural therapies). It is my hope that this book will provide a good basic educational resource for readers wishing to learn about identifying and treating mental and emotional disorders. This book is not intended to be an extensive manual but is intended to contain information most often sought by laypersons on the subject.
