Depression

Guiding clinicians toward the most effective treatment regimens. This book offers an coverage of the symptomatology, diagnosis, epidemiology, and etiology of depression. It reviews research and clinical data regarding acute and long-term outcomes, combination therapies, neuroimaging, genetics, and pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic measures.

"…a nice balance between a review of what the evidence shows and practical advice and suggestions based on that review. It also focuses on difficult to treat cases, situations where combining medications or trying newer somatic therapies might be in order. I particularly liked when authors attempted to criticize the studies (instead of just summarizing them)….a very digestible review of what is considered state-of-the-art in the management of major depression." -Doody's Review Services
