      Complete Mental Health by John Ingram Walker, M.D. reviewed by Bryan M. KnightAt first I thought this book was a parody. That's because each of the 17 chapters has a flippant (though often clever) subtitle. For example:Chapter 4: The Bipolar Spectrum: Up the Down Escalator Chapter 8: Understanding and Managing Somatoform and Factitious Disorders:Those Low-Down, Mind-Messin', Waitin'-in-the-Doctor's Office Blues Chapter 12: Alzheimer's Disease and Other Age-Old Concerns: Dulled Wit Chapter 13: Sexual Dysfunction and Romantic Resolution: The Viagra Monologues Chapter 15: The Uses and Abuses of Psychiatric Medications: Pills, Poisons, and Placebos.However, this work is actually a highly readable, in-depth guide to what ails us mentally. Dr Walker's humor is endearing and reflects his own advice to not take oneself too seriously.He asserts that family doctors need more psychiatric training so they can recognize the underlying emotional problems of their patients. In the interim, Dr Walker created this amazing "Go-to Guide for Clinicians and Patients."Within these 350+ pages are quizzes for doctors and patients plus an astounding, detailed view of drugs, psychotherapies and mental disorders.Hypnosis is favored with one link about it being of possible use in Conversion Disorders. And a whole page for hypnotizing yourself to have a restful sleep.The author links each illness to details of famous people. For example, the alcoholic authors who died around the age of 40: Dylan Thomas, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jack London and Edgar Allen Poe.A massive list of References adds authority to Dr Walker's personal pronouncements and a comprehensive index allows doctors and patients alike to quickly zero in on their chosen ailments.For many reviews of fiction and non-fiction books enjoy A Little Knight Reading by Bryan M. Knight who is Canada's foremost hypno-psychotherapist. To find out about how you can benefit from hypnosis by visit his site Hypnosis Depot where all your questions about hypnosis will be answered.
