This book gives helpful guidelines on diagnosis for primary care physicians. It also provides guidelines on what to say to patients and their families, how to give them counselling, what medication to prescribe, and when to consult a specialist. In short, this volume presents the knowledge of mental health science in an easily understandable form for practitioners (both physicians and others) at the primary health care level.
Two Versions of ICD-10 Chapter V Primary Care Version (ICD-10 PC) are presented here: (1) a concise version for those with medical training and prescription responsibility; (2) a brief version for primary care staff with other medical training. The primary care versions of the mental disorders classification were designed by an international group of general practitioners, family physicians, mental health workers, public health experts, social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists with a special interest in mental health problems in primary health care providers. After two rounds of revision, the classification system was field tested in more than 40 countries by over 500 primary care physicians to assess its relevance, ease of use and reliability.
