 Posted Jun 24, 2009 by Alex 'Tufty' Ashman [!] Entry: Update: Mental Health - A46284654 Author: Alex 'Tufty' Ashman [!] - U566116
Nearly forgot about this one.
This is an update for A646148 - I've removed the three short sections that cover depression, schizophrenia and bipolar, and inserted a section linking to the mental health project entries, which in turn link to all the other relevant entries.

Depression is a form of neurosis...
Is it worth expanding (in a footnote, perhaps) on what a 'neurosis' is?
You define 'endogenous' depression as a chemical imbalance in the brain, but surely 'reactive depression' also involves neurotransmitter imbalance, it just has a discernible cause..?
I don't like the term 'schizophrenics' - it was drilled into me when I started as a medical writer not to define people by their condition. They are 'people (/patients/individuals) with schizophrenia'. (Cue cries of 'it's political correctness gone mad...' )

I don't think you need to hyphenate bipolar.

Danny, you've reviewed the original! None of those errors exist in the update (A46284654). Asides from gutting it of the brief descriptions of three common conditions and correcting a few oddities, I haven't done all that much.
