Background is provided on the disease's history, epidemiology, aetiology and biological basis. This is followed by accounts of the clinical picture, the diagnostic process and management options, including pharmacological and non-drug (psychological) therapies. Also covered are services for patients and carers, and legal and ethical issues. (RH).
