More than fifty million people a year are diagnosed with some form of mental illness. It spares no sex, race, age, ethnicity, or income level. Left untreated, mental disorders can devastate our families and communities. Family members and friends are often the first to realize when someone has a problem, but it is hard to know how to help or where to turn. In this compassionate, comprehensive, and reader-friendly guide, families can find answers to their most urgent questions about illnesses, treatment, medications, and navigating the mental health system.
