内容説明

Depression is a common illness with a recurrent and chronic nature. It is not an easy illness to treat because those who suffer from it frequently do not come forward for treatment. Antidepressant drugs have been improved and progress continues, but there are still many aspects of the disease which are poorly understood. This volume discusses a number of novel theories of depression, which partly derive from the advances in the discrimination of receptor subtypes, indicating that the spectrum of depression is far wider and more complex than has been thought. This volume concentrates on the newer mechanisms being explored as potential antidepressants and on the biochemical theories that have produced new treatment approaches.
