Mental wellbeing is an integral part of being, and feeling,
healthy, and it is estimated that one in four people will suffer
from some form of mental illness during their lifetime. In spite of
this, it is often overlooked in mainstream healthcare. The overall
aim of this book is to provide knowledge and understanding of how
mental health affects human beings from conception through to
end-of-life, and the challenges that society as a whole has to
address in the treatment of mental health. Beginning with an
exploration of historical, social and cultural contexts, the book
then goes on to discuss mental health care, and mental health
promotion, during pregnancy and early parenthood, childhood,
adolescence and young adulthood, adulthood for both men and women,
and in older people. Containing reflective exercises, the chapters
are designed to provide an easily-accessible and engagingly-written
introduction to mental health. Containing chapters that can be read
and reviewed in isolation, or used as an entire text, Mental Health
Across the Lifespan: A Handbook provides a solid introduction to
mental health for students. The book will also act as a useful
reference for doctors, nurses, midwives, health visitors, allied
health professionals, and health and social care support workers
who have no specialist mental health training but often work in
partnership with, and care for, people suffering from mental health
issues.
