Mental Health Information for Teens: Health Tips About Mental Wellness and Mental Illness : Including Facts About Mental and Emotional Health, Depression ... Mood Disorders, Self-in (Teen Health Series)
Grade 6-Up–This update to the 2001 edition is divided into 49 chapters, each focusing on a specific psychological topic or related topic relevant to functioning in school and daily life. The chapters are further organized into sections categorized by broader themes or issues. The six parts address major categories of psychiatric disorders, various aspects of mental wellness, and coping mechanisms and strategies for optimizing mental health. Information about resources, therapies, medications, and assistance for adolescents is also included. This new edition provides more coverage of current problems prevalent in young adult populations, such as self-injury disorders, bullying, and dating violence. As in the earlier edition, there are numerous sidebars with facts and tips, but they are still unappealing gray-shaded boxes. Nonetheless, due to the book's valuable content, it is an excellent resource, especially for collections that do not have the earlier edition.–Caroline Geck, Kean University, Union, NJ
