978-3-031-73367-3 (ISBN)
Mental health disorders affect emotions, behavior and thought processes which impact on the day-to-day functioning and well-being of the individual, and the family unit. The consequences can be devastating and should be placed in the context that globally there are approximately 800 million people who have a mental health disorder, of which approximately 500 million have either depression or anxiety. Approximately 45 million people have bipolar disorder and 20 million have schizophrenia. Eating disorders affects 15 million people. Substance use disorders affects nearly a billion people worldwide. In many cases treatment can be carried out using pharmacological and nonpharmacological regimens. However, it is important to consider that the biological and pathological elements of these mental disorders are often overlooked, understanding which platforms for diagnosis and treatments.
This comprehensive reference covers the full range of psychological disorders, examining the biological aspects of what is displayed as behavior. Each major psychological disorder receives its own chapter with information on genetic, chemical, and biological components that are key factors in the etiology and course of the pathology. The interrelationship of human behavior and physical health is a complex but critical part of understanding the mental condition, and this reference lays out a way of understanding the role of the biological mechanisms.
This handbook is designed for psychologists, psychiatrists, judicial professionals, behavioral scientists, pathologists, psychologists, psychiatric nurses and doctors, neurologists, health scientists, general practitioners, research scientists and all those interested in altered behavior, mental health and disease. It is also valuable as a personal reference book and for academic libraries that cover behavioral or medical sciences.
Colin R. Martin RN, BSc, MSc, PhD, MBA, YCAP, FHEA, C.Psychol, AFBPsS, C.Sci is Professor of Clinical Psychobiology and Applied Psychoneuroimmunology and Clinical Director of the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Suffolk, UK. He is a Chartered Health Psychologist and a Chartered Scientist. He also trained in analytical biochemistry, this aspect reflecting the psychobiological focus of much of his research within mental health. He has published or has in press well over 300 research papers and book chapters. He is a keen book author and editor having written and/or edited more than 30 books. These outputs include the prophetic insight into the treatment of neurological disease, Handbook of Behavior, Food and Nutrition (2011), Nanomedicine and the Nervous System (2012), Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants in Neurological Disease (2020), The Neuroscience of Depression: Features, Diagnosis and Treatment (2021) and Zika Virus Impact, Diagnosis, Control and Models (2021). Professor Martin is particularly interested in the psychobiological interface between psychological and physical well-being, neurological status and pathology and nutritional substrates. His broad clinical work within the mental health field has brought him into direct contact with clinical presentations where challenging behavior is common, including substance abuse and alcohol dependency, schizophrenia, personality disorder and medium and high secure forensic mental health environments. He is involved in collaborative international research with many European and Non-European countries.
