| Abstract

|
Explaining what psychiatry is and what it does, this work looks at the major mental illnesses and how they are treated. It outlines a brief history of the subject, focusing on the controversies that have inevitably surrounded it - from political abuse to the very existence or otherwise of both mental illness and 'normality'
