Mental Health -- Understanding the Reality and Improving Awareness, Management and Quality of life.

Mental health is a barometer of individual productivity and community wellness. It is important both for the people, as well as general and family physicians to be well informed about symptoms, types, and treatment modalities of mental health conditions, as well as remove misconceptions and stigmas attached to some mental health disorders. Awareness and understanding of mental health conditions can enable timely help, referral, and management, to provide a fulfilled life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
