understanding mental disordersPatient handouts are a great tool for clinicians, improving a patient’s commitment to a treatment plan as well as providing information for future reference.

A new edition of a popular patient handout title is available for psychiatric conditions - Understanding Mental Disorders: A Patient and Family Resource.

Three more sections have been added to this title, including Obsessive-Compulsive, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
