Description

Some degree of depression is commonly experienced by such a broad spectrum of the population, that depression can be viewed as the common cold of psychological disorders. But there is more to depression than its psychological aspects; there are also biochemical aspects. This book provides multifaceted information spanning more than seven decades about depression: what it is; what causes it; and what can be done to overcome it. With the aid of a comprehensive subject index, this book provides easy-to-access facts and where to look for more detailed information. It not only refers the reader to traditional information such as books and articles, but also to online databases, CD-ROM and videocassettes. An author index and list of acronyms is also included. This work is intended for doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers and sociologists, as well as anyone with a general interest in depression.
