Furthermore, developments in pharmacological therapeutic approaches continue at a tremendous rate. Yet, although there are many mental health nursing textbooks available, veryfew address this significant aspect of mental health  in any depth. Clearly, in order to deliver informed holistic care, it is vital that practitioners appreciate the biological aspects of mental health problems and the associated implications for clients, families and the practitioner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book aims to provide a broad overview of the neurobiological factors which may contribute to, and arise from, the development of mental health problems, and seeks to clearly identify issues relevant to mental health nursing practice. Key issues addressed include: \u003cbr\u003eThe important role of  homeostasis  in maintaining physical and emotional well-being \u003cbr\u003eThe important link between immunology and nutrition and mental health\u003cbr\u003eThe co-ordinated role of neuro-function and endocrine function in influencing behaviour\u003cbr\u003eAdaptive and maladaptive responses of the body to stress and stressors\u003cbr\u003eAgeing process as a continuum of life and its relation to mental health\u003cbr\u003eRestorative function of sleep\u003cli\u003eProvides unique integrated approach linking biological issues to psychological and social factors\u003c\/li\u003eClearly relevant to mental health practice\u003cli\u003eExcellent overview of neurobiological factors in mental health\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Quest for Holistic Care in Theory and Practice \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e The Concept of Homeostasis \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Neuroanatomy and Neurofunction \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Brain Metabolism, Hormonal Activity, and Mental Health \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Genetic Aspects \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Immune Mechanisms and Mental Health \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Nutrition and Mental Health \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Psychopharmacology \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Sleep and Sensory Functioning \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Stress, the Individual, and Mental Health \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e The Ageing Process and Mental Health \u0026amp;middot\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychiatric nursing [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychiatric nursing\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychiatric%20nursing%20%5BMQCL5%5D%22\"\u003eMQCL5\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Churchill Livingstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648193581336,"sku":"9780443059902","price":32.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780443059902.jpg?v=1694979711","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/biological-aspects-of-mental-health-nursing-paperback-9780443059902","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
