Who is this book for?

This book is intended for anyone who wants to better understand their body and feel more confident about symptoms. It is especially useful for those who suffer from health anxiety (hypochondria), for parents who need guidance on their children's symptoms, and for caregivers of elderly people. It is also an excellent tool for young people living alone for the first time who want to have a basic medical resource at home. If you already have advanced medical knowledge, you may find the information too basic, as the book is designed for the general public and not for health professionals. However, even professionals can appreciate the clear approach and accessible presentation of common symptoms.
