Management of Common Mental Health Problems

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.
