Comprehensive and state of the art, the second edition of
Pharmacotherapy of Depression offers major revisions of every
chapter and the addition of new chapters by expert contributors.
The first chapter reviews the neurobiology of depression, which
lays the groundwork for understanding the mechanisms of action of
antidepressants. In the next chapter, a review of the general
principles guiding the diagnosis and medication treatment of
unipolar depression is provided. The clinical pharmacology of
antidepressants is reviewed in some detail, supplemented by tables
that provide information on dosing, indications, and metabolism.
Augmentation strategies are reviewed, including the use of
non-traditional agents. The chapters that follow next address the
use of antidepressants in special populations, such as the elderly
and depressed individuals with psychosis, bipolar disorder,
substance abuse, and post traumatic stress disorder. The complex
issues involving the diagnosis and treatment of depression during
pregnancy is thoroughly reviewed in Chapter 8 and provides a
synthesis of the scientific literature in the area, one that is
noted for contradictory and controversial findings, as well as
guidelines for prescribing. The next chapter then provides an
overview of the treatment of depression in the pediatric
population, highlighting clinical concerns such as suicide risk.
The book concludes with two chapters at the interface of medicine
and psychiatry in the treatment of mood disorders: managing
depression in primary care settings and depression associated with
medical illnesses. The outstanding clinician-scientists who have
contributed to this volume are all leaders in their fields and
represent a broad spectrum of renowned institutions. A timely
contribution to the literature, The Pharmacotherapy of Depression,
Second Edition, offers busy clinicians from many disciplines a
strong scientific foundation that seamlessly transitions into
practical recommendations for clinical practice. The result is
another gold-standard guide to the safe and effective use of the
latest antidepressant medications.
