What causes a man to become depressed or even psychotic? This book,
originally published in 1991, provides an account of a grossly
neglected subject: the social, sexual, psychological and
psychiatric problems facing men. Dealing with issues such as
aggression, violence, criminality, sexuality, and alcohol and drug
dependence, it will be essential reading for health professionals,
social workers and welfare officers, as well as those interested in
gender studies.
Liaison psychiatry, that is, psychiatry with patients with organic
disorders or physical symptoms in general hospitals, is a field
that grew rapidly in the 1980s. Yet there had been no introductory
book to the subject which might have served the needs of trainee
psychiatrists, medical students, and general physicians and
surgeons, as well as nurses and others, whose patients might be
involved. This book, originally published in 1987, aimed to fill
this gap in the literature. It begins by examining the scope and
organisational issues of liaison psychiatry at the time and its
role in psychiatric patients with organic disease, psychosomatic
disorders, emotional reactions to physical disease, terminal
illness, etc. The bulk of the book then reviews liaison in a range
of medical specialities. The book should thus have a wide
readership.

The thyroid gland is central to the proper functioning of our
bodies, regulating metabolism and organ function. Thyroid disorders
result from an underactive thyroid - hypothroidism, with symptoms
including fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, intolerance to cold,
or an overactive thyroid - hyperthroidism, with symptoms including
irritability, weight loss, sleep disturbances, vision problems and
heat intolerance. Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to
suffer from an overactive or underactive thyroid. Half of all
thyroid problems remain undiagnosed, yet thyroid problems are 90%
curable and relatively easy to treat if diagnosed.
This book focuses on women and children; thyroid problems covered
include Graves Disease, Hashimoto's Disease, simple goiter, and de
Quervain's thyroiditis. It contains special chapters for pregnant
women, babies, children, adolescents and women over 50. The book
discusses which vitamins help, the role of iodine, what diets work
for a healthy thyroid, and the role of stress in thyroid problems.
The "Latest Updates" chapter covers the latest medical research in
the field.
Written in a style that is easy to read and understand, including
informative case histories, the book is a necessity for every woman
concerned about her health and the health of her children.
Many women are unaware that they have anemia. Its symptoms --
fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and poor
concentration -- are often attributed to stress rather than iron
deficiency. Using case studies, Joan Gomez discusses the prevention
and treatment of anemia during childhood, adolescence, and
menopause.
