Mental Diseases: A Public Health Problem by Dr. Louis Casamajor is a comprehensive exploration of mental illness as a significant concern for public health, originally published in the early 20th century. The book delves into the prevalence, causes, and societal impact of mental disorders, emphasizing the urgent need for public awareness and systemic intervention. Dr. Casamajor discusses the classification of mental diseases, their symptoms, and the challenges faced in diagnosis and treatment during his era. He highlights the social stigma attached to mental illness and advocates for humane care, improved institutional conditions, and preventive measures. The author also examines the economic burden of mental diseases on society, the role of heredity and environment, and the importance of early detection. Through case studies, statistical data, and historical context, Casamajor calls for coordinated efforts between medical professionals, lawmakers, and the public to address mental health as a collective responsibility. The book serves as both a medical reference and a call to action, urging readers to recognize mental diseases not just as individual afflictions but as a pressing public health issue requiring compassion, education, and reform.
