Description

Interest in Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors has grown considerably in recent years, particularly as their therapeutic profile is expanding to the treatment of other types of psychiatric disorder besides depression. It is therefore timely that the authors of Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors should now provide a second edition. Reorganised and updated to include additional chapters which greatly extend the scope of the book, this edition gives an excellent review of the biochemical, pharmacological and clinical aspects of this important group of drugs. Written by an array of outstanding, authoritative, international scientists and clinicians this invaluable reference provides a wealth of knowledge and an extensive source of up-to-date references on a subject that is important to every clinician involved in treating psychiatric patients as well as those carrying out research in this field.
