Academic Press The Nature of Depression: An Updated Review

Product Description The Nature of Depression: An Updated Review provides clear connections between psychiatric and neurological disorders. Unlike prior books on depression, this book covers many neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, major depressive disorder, Alzheimer’s disease, PTSD, addiction and anxiety disorder. In addition, this book covers different forms of depression, including transition-induced depression and the development of depression following major life events, including birth of a child, menopause and retirement. Review "In total, this book proves to be an excellent and practical idea-generator, in which quick progression through both persevering and burgeoning concepts yields an eagerness to explore the data further. Admittedly, while this text is on the terse side, there is still plenty of content to attract experienced researchers." -- Applied Neuropsychology-Adult Review A complete reference on the study of depression as a comorbid disorder About the Author Dr. Ahmed A.
