A person seeks medical help for mental health issues when the person becomes
unable to cope with activities of daily living and life becomes too much to bear,
but how does the healthcare provider determine what is wrong and what to do
to restore the patient to good mental health? The answer depends on the
patient’s signs and symptoms. In this book you will learn to identify these signs
and symptoms, conduct psychiatric and mental health assessments, and perform
the nursing interventions that will assist in solving or alleviating the patient’s
psychiatric and mental health problem.
