Perspectives on Disease and Illness series.
Short chapters define each disorder and describe symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Each chapter begins with an overview, ends with discussion questions, and contains lots of sidebar facts. Several paragraphs are repeated from book to book. Some photos show children younger than the target audience. Vignettes add variety but end abruptly. Bib., glos., ind.

Perspectives on Physical Health series.
These volumes identify five conditions that can affect the lives of teenagers, discuss the psychological and physical symptoms of each, and provide information on recovery. The repetitive prose is accompanied by statistics and testimonials from teenagers. The accompanying color photographs look posed, and in Overeating show only fit and healthy-looking teens. Bib., glos., ind.

Perspectives on Mental Health series.
These two books explain how to identify stress and anger in oneself and others, discuss how these issues affect psychological and physical well-being, and suggest commonsense methods of dealing with them. Highlighted sections describe how teens experience stress and anger, but this information adds little to the choppy texts. The color photos are staged and hammy. Bib., glos., ind.

Teen testimonials are inserted in the sometimes choppy text; sidebars separate myths and facts, as well as offer weight loss and fitness tips. Unremarkable color photos and a list of related addresses and websites are included. Bib., glos., ind.
