Book Reviews
“ Severe stigma is attached to mental disorders. They hesitate to consult psychiatrists or psychologists. If they consult they expect a quick cure and solutions! They ignore academic and behavioural problems of children and adolescents. They label them as lazy, dullards or bad children! They, including teachers, try to punish children.
Many psychiatrists, including me and many psychologists, are trying to educate people through print and electronic media. A recent and welcome book is written by Smt. Anitha Nadig, who is a committed counsellor with vast experience and knowledge. There are 23 chapters starting from ‘how much we know about mind and mental health’ to ‘how to manage emotions, feelings and stress’.
Her language is simple, clear. Her style of presentation is excellent and holds the attention of readers. She gives insight into problems through real case stories. She drives the message straight into the reader's mind, enlightening them with knowledge.
I wish that this book reaches every home to spread the light of mental well being. I expect many more books and write ups from her.
