Description
The many ramifications of mood disorders, particularly depression, are the subject of this book. Experts of international standing present their research on the causes, identification, prevalence and treatment of such problems. Articles on nicotine and alcohol addiction, cancer, HIV, endocrine malfunction, geriatric ailments and pain indicate how frequently these are associated with depressive illness. The concept of comorbidity is seen in the book as offering a fresh vantage point from which to take stock of complex situations and develop effective new ways of treatment.
