  At some time in their lives, many people fear that they, or someone close to them, may be undergoing a nervous breakdown . Ignorance and mystery surround the term, which covers many different psychological problems, and this book aims to dispel the myths and to help the reader identify the problems and pressures. Covering stress, phobia, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, alcohol addiction and schizophrenia, it discusses the signs which show that things are going wrong, and describes the types of help which are available. Case histories are used to illustrate the different aspects of a nervous breakdown. Readers may decide that they have no psychological problems that need help, but may recognize aspects of themselves, or of people close to them, which indicate that something should be done. The author is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist.
