schizophrenia, substance use disorders, depression and
bipolar disorders, eating disorders, and suicide in
sections that thoroughly define each disorder, outline
and assess available treatments, discuss prevention
strategies, and suggest a research agenda based on what
we know and don't yet know about these various
conditions.
