    May 01, 2004: I highly recommend First Aid to Mental Illness: A Practical Guide for Patients and Caregivers by psychiatrist, Dr. Michael Rayel. The author provides invaluable factual information to his readers in an engaging manner, while maintaining a compassionate approach toward addressing mental health concerns. This book teaches the average person specific strategies to more effectively recognize and respond to a mental illness in themselves or others. I like how the author uses real-life case studies to highlight how mental illnesses can affect anyone, despite age, intelligence, or socioeconomic status. As a psychotherapist, I especially appreciate the effort Dr. Rayel takes to explain complex psychological concepts accurately, and in everyday language that is easy to understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with people, including police officers, teachers, transit operators, case managers, nurses, youth workers, business managers, medical doctors, community centre staff, peer counselors, and the like.
