Hot on the heels of the bestselling The Hypochondriac's Pocket Guide to Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have is this hilarious examination of mental maladies. Fifty nerve-wracking, squirm-making and possibly fatal disorders--from the slightly odd fear of art to the bizarre belief that you are a ravenous flesh-eater--come with descriptions of symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and treatments.

This is an excellent addition to the DiClaudio's "Hypochondriac's Guide..." This book is significantly larger than its predecessor (at least three times longer!), yet maintains that same biting sense of medical humor without. A warning - if you're like me, you'll find at least three or four mental disorders in this book that you very well could have. Of course, it's always good to have a reason to give for your erratic behavior. If you could handle the grossness of the previous book, you'll probably be mostly unswayed by the unnerving disorders in this one. Use this book to diagnose all your friends! :)

Good content, Poor quality

I liked reading this book. It was as informative as it was entertaining. Unfortunately, after just one read, the cover fell off, and the pages became loose at the binding. The book was constructed very poorly. I suppose for a gag gift it might serve the purpose, but I couldn't reccommend this product to anyone that actually wants to read the book more than once.

Let me start by saying, I am a therapist who has been working with people for quite some time. Having said that, you have to have a certain level of humor to enjoy your job as much as I do. This book is a great too to destress after a tough day. If you enjoy it, check out some of the other books in this genre.
