Product Description

Stephen Fry
'Pamela Stephenson Connolly has written just about the perfect companion to the mind, mental health, mood and personality. Whether you care about what alcohol, drugs or abuse do to you, or you worry about your own full happiness or that of someone you love, this comprehensive book goes to the heart of that part of us we most neglect and yet which is most important to us - our thinking, feeling, hoping, doubting, questioning and often baffling minds. Authoritative without being technical, simple without being simplistic, this is about as useful as a book can be.'


Product Description

Have you ever felt blue? Do you turn to food for comfort? Are you unable to sleep despite overwhelming exhaustion?

You are not alone. 154 million people globally suffer depression, which is just the tip of the mental illness iceberg. The vast majority receive no treatment, due to an immense lack of specialists, resources and understanding. But this doesn’t mean you have to suffer in silence. HEAD CASE gives you the clinical expertise, without the professional jargon. Dr Pamela Connolly offers simple self-assessment tools and down-to-earth information on a wide range of mental health problems. She explains everything that can go wrong with your mind, and sets out easy steps to start feeling better straight away.

HEAD CASE is the most comprehensive book of its kind, covering everything from mood, personality and sleep disorders to anxiety, trauma and addiction. It addresses the effect of childhood experiences on later life, and how to deal with issues from the past. It is a helpful, practical and positive guide that will inspire readers to make manageable steps towards a more joyful life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trivial, disappointing, avoid at all costs, 17 Sep 2008
Avoid at all costs!!!!

Pamela Stephenson (a former comedienne famous for being Billy Connolly's wife) has put her name to a book that is a very flimsy 'encylopeadia' of mental health problems. She barely goes into detail on anything, supports her chapters with wishy washy 'personal stories', and repeats herself on every single page.

'Treat yourself to better mental health', says the title. 'Treat yourself'?? Better mental health is not like eating a bar of chocolate or buying a new dress, it's a serious issue affecting one in three people worldwide. This book is a disgrace, and is insulting to everyone suffering mental health problems because it belittles their illness by making light of it.

Pam's top tip for every single possible mental health problem? Go to the internet and Google for more info. Save yourself the time and money and do that instead of touching this book. Or simply buy a better book - written by someone with medical qualifications. A very insulting book.
