Troublesome Disguises: Managing Challenging Disorders in Psychiatry by Dinesh Bhugra (Author), 2nd Edition, explores psychiatric conditions that are not uncommon but present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Despite being familiar to clinicians, these conditions often require a nuanced approach for accurate diagnosis and effective management. This new edition serves as both an awareness-raiser and a cautionary note against overreliance on diagnostic systems that can perpetuate errors harmful to patient care.

The book offers wisdom in the form of encouraging clinicians to entertain doubts when faced with atypical cases, alongside practical guidance for assessing and managing these conditions. With 304 pages packed with insightful content, Troublesome Disguises is an invaluable resource for psychiatrists, mental health professionals, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of complex psychiatric disorders.
