Description

In Beyond Prozac, Samuel Barondes explains the science underlying rational design of the next generation of antidepressive agents, and how we have learned what we know about the molecular basis of the neuropharmacological treatment of mood disorders. Barondes is a pioneer of molecular science, and he presents many case studies throughout the book to help readers understand the stakes and impact of mood disorders, and the scope of our current and potential abilities to intervene and mend clinical depression and anxiety disorders.
