Making Sense of Psychiatric Diagnosis: Understanding the DSM-5
Ashley L. PetersonMaking Sense of Psychiatric Diagnosis aims to cut through the misinformation, stigma, and assumptions that surround mental illness and give a clear picture of what mental illness really is.
The book pairs diagnostic criteria and descriptions for a cross-section of mental illnesses in the DSM-5 with nineteen first-hand narrative accounts of what it's like to live with those conditions. The book is also infused with the author's own experience as a mental health nurse and person living with depression.
With the fusion of diagnostic information, clinical experience, and lived experience, this book offers a unique, well-rounded perspective on the reality of mental illness.
