Affliction : Health, Disease, Poverty
Affliction inaugurates a novel way of understanding the trajectories of health and disease in the context of poverty.Focusing on low-income neighborhoods in Delhi, it stitches together three different sets of issues. First, it examines the different trajectories of illness: What are the circumstances under which illness is absorbed within the normal and when does it exceed the normal—putting resources, relationships, and even one’s world into jeopardy?A second set of issues involves how different healers understand their own practices.The astonishing range of practitioners found in the local markets in the poor neighborhoods of Delhi shows how the magical and the technical are knotted together in the therapeutic experience of healers and patients.The book asks: What is expert knowledge? What is it that the practitioner knows and what does the patient know?How are these different forms of knowledge brought together in the clinical encounter, broadly defined?How does this event of everyday life bear the traces of larger policies at the national and global levels?Finally, the book interrogates the models of disease prevalence and global programming that emphasize surveillance over care and deflect attention away from the specificities of local worlds.Yet the analysis offered retains an openness to different ways of conceptualizing “what is happening” and stimulates a conversation between different disciplinary orientations to health, disease, and poverty. Most studies of health and disease focus on the encounter between patient and practitioner within the space of the clinic.This book instead privileges the networks of relations, institutions, and knowledge over which the experience of illness is dispersed.Instead of thinking of illness as an event set apart from everyday life, it shows the texture of everyday life, the political economy of neighborhoods, as well as the dark side of care.It helps us see how illness is bound by the contexts in which it occurs, while also showing how illness transcends these contexts to say something about the nature of everyday life and the making of subjects.

'Epilepsy or mental health?'
Epilepsy and mental health are two distinct conditions that can coexist in some individuals. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, while mental health refers to a person's emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is important to recognize that having epilepsy does not necessarily mean a person also has mental health issues, and vice versa. However, some individuals with epilepsy may also experience mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or cognitive difficulties, which should be addressed and managed by healthcare professionals.

The Economics of Obesity : Poverty, Income Inequality, and Health
Much has been written about the economic causes of obesity, but this book offers a comprehensive and deep investigation of the causes and treatment of these issues in a single volume.In the second edition, the author expands upon the serious threat that obesity poses not only to our health, but also to our society.Obesity costs billions of dollars a year in lost productivity and medical expenses.The social distribution of obesity has changed over time.Obesity rates in the United States continue to worsen in parallel with income inequality.Socioeconomic groups with low personal capital, levels of education, and income have higher obesity rates.In fact, the rate of obesity has increased the fastest among low-income Americans.The disproportionate burden of obesity on the poor poses an economic challenge and an ethical imperative.The link between obesity, inactivity, and poverty may be too costly to ignore because obesity-associated chronic disease already accounts for 70% of US healthcare costs.Although economic and technological changes in the environment drove the obesity epidemic, the evidence for effective economic policies to prevent obesity remains limited. The new edition brings together a multitude of topics on obesity previously not discussed with a particular emphasis on the influence of poverty and income inequality on obesity including:Economic Analysis: Behavioral Patterns, Diet Choice, and the Role of Government Income and Wealth Inequality and Obesity Social Mobility and HealthFood Policies, Government Interventions, and Reducing Poverty The Economics of Obesity is an essential text for readers interested in learning about the causes and consequences of obesity within a social context including students, academicians, and practitioners in public health, medicine, social sciences, and health economics, both in and outside of the United States.US and international policy-makers also will find the book a salient read in addressing the issues that contribute to the cycle of poverty, income inequality, and obesity.

Integrating Nutrition Into Mental Health Care
Mental health counselors, psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists realize that nutrition may be a factor in their clients’ mental health, but a lack of nutritional science background and resources makes it difficult for them to incorporate nutrition into the care they provide.Likewise registered dietitian nutritionists, new to the field of mental health care (whether in a facility or in private practice), may feel the need for succinct resources geared to this area of nutritional care.Integrating Nutrition and Mental Health Care illuminates the intersection between nutrition and mental health, bridging the gap for professionals in both fields.It presents resources in areas such as caffeine intake, family history of a genetically transmitted nutrition-related condition, interpretation of laboratory nutritional assessment, safe upper limits of supplements, as well as additional nutrition factors, helping practitioners easily incorporate selected nutritional aspects into the mental health care of clients.The book includes sample forms for office use and instructions to interpret client information, these forms can be easily downloaded and printed from the Routledge book page.Additional forms available help in facilitating referral to an RDN for a deeper look at individual patient’s nutritional issues. Further to information on nutrition and metal health, the text features a series of short fictional, but real-life, nutrition stories.These stories provide an enjoyable format in which to train, or test, the reader’s knowledge.
