Synopsis

As Irish society undergoes rapid change and the pace of modern life seems everfaster, it is unsurprising that the issue of mental health has become more prominent and, thankfully, somewhat more openly discussed - and the provision of treatment better and more widely available. Flagging The Problem : A New Approach to Mental Health. is made up of five main sections. Each section marked with a coloured flag represents a particular mental state or area of concern: Green Flag explains the normal mood system, the Red Flag deals with depression, the Yellow Flag addresses anxiety, the Purple Flag deals with addiction and the White Flag which addresses the issue of suicide. There is a technical section, and extra appendices at the end of the book including information on self-help groups, and a list of commonly used medicines.
