About Module:

Patients with mental health problems may provide more complex challenges than the average patient. This module is a psychologist's attempt to help you understand the basic and common mental health conditions you are most likely to come across in your practice, what to look out for and what to do when it occurs. There are also some extra resources.

We have taken a slightly less traditional approach in relaying this information to you, in the hope that:

• You will find this information useful in your day-to-day practice, and

• Find it both interesting and entertaining (which is always the best way to learn).
