Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System (A Health Education Guide)
Neurological illnesses account for nearly 20% of the burden of illnesses in the community. Sadly, there is not much awareness about the neurological illnesses and the patient and the family members are suddenly overcome with anxiety and apprehension, and do not know how to cope with neurological problems. Dr. Sudhir Shah's book serves to give the necessary information required. The original book was in Gujarati language, but he has taken pains to bring out this English edition.
It is a fairly comprehensive book, dealing with all practical problems faced in neurology. It gives the description of the illness along with the management. I am confident that the reader will find it extremely useful and it will help the patients and relatives to cope with various neurological problems. He has also emphasized on preventive aspects of the illness and side effects of the commonly used drugs and in particular care to be taken for drugs used for prolonged periods.
This book should be useful not only for the patient and the caretakers but also for the medical students and the physicians and those involved in the management of neurological illnesses.
I enjoyed reading the book and I am confident that it will have a wide reception. I should compliment Dr. Sudhir Shah for having spared his time from his busy practice and academic work to write this book.
