I actually found myself unable to put this book down - pretty good for a book on mental health! This book explains things in layman's terms and was very helpful and easy to understand. The many case histories, written in regular English, made understanding the concepts easy. One can definitely tell that Dr. Heller has an understanding for his patients, and is truly interested in helping them. I would recommend this book to anyone, whether you are frustrated yourself, or know an adult or child who is.
All encompassing explanatory manual on mentall illnesses.

Most of what I learned about Psychiatry and Neurology , I learned on the job. As an ER nurse I saw a lot of Psych cases come through the door. Dr Heller's book has given me great insight and understanding to these disorders. It also showed me that 80% of the cases I saw the patient was either under treated or not treated correctly at all. Biological Unhappiness should be in all ER's as an adjunct to training and as a reference book.
