Management of Common Mental Health Problems
 There is a scarcity of
mental health professionals in the South-East Asia Region. Most psychiatric
conditions are manageable at the community level by General Practitioners
(GPs). This training audio-visual material is designed to enable GPs to
diagnose and treat such patients in the community. Using a combination of
graphics and visuals, the film lucidly explains the signs, symptoms and
management of common mental health conditions which GPs are most likely to
encounter during their practice.
