by James W. Hicks, M.D. ’91, HS ’95 (Yale University Press) From anger to sexual preoccupations, from cravings to obsessions, this volume describes the clues that may signal mental illness. Starting each topic with a vignette to illustrate a symptom, the author considers whether it arises from illness or constitutes a normal response to stress. The book outlines available treatments and coping strategies for each symptom.
