Really worth reading

Dose of Sanity, a psychiatrist sums up his approach to assessment, partially based on an examination of a 24-hour day. Since medical/psychological help is sought, then clearly something is amiss or aberant, at least from the patient's POV. Here, the larger part of the book is explaining the errors of psychiatry, when not approached from a medical basis, including is the over-prescription of America and the pop self-help gee-whizes who sell an idea, regardless whether it helps people or not.

This is not a self-help book. It is a book detailing an approach by neuropsychiatry which might replace the norm. That author hopes that many people aggrivated with typical pill-prescribing docs who treat their patients with insane and inane treatments, including those in his own field, drop that which doesn't help and move on to real medicine, based on blood tests, medical workups and asking questions, rather than a script after 45 minutes.

It was enlightening and worth reading. It's short, 235 medium sized font and set so just about any layperson could read it.
