CD’s are also an excellent choice for people who have a computer but do not have internet access or have a slow connection.

professionals as well as friends, relatives and aquaintances.
This course can be of value to anyone who wants to understand more
about common psychological disorders, their causes and treatment. It is

how we can treat them.
